    MSH jumps on the progressive bandwagon of political correctness, well
    documented by Keith Thompson's essay on his reasons for "Leaving the
    Left:"

    "In the name of 'diversity," the University of Arizona has forbidden
    discrimination based on 'individual style.' The University of Connecticut
    has banned 'inappropriately directed laughter.' Brown University, sensing
    unacceptable gray areas warns that harassment 'may be intentional or
    unintentional and still constitute harassment.' (Yes, we're talking
    'subconscious harrassment' here. We're watching your thoughts.)"

    Of course, that MSH should be on the PC bandwagon comes as no surprise.
    A generic characteristic of leftists is their fanatical intolerance while
    they preach tolerance.
