A news item tells of a prof who dared challenge a disruptive student at the university of Guelph and was ambushed by other students armed with cell phones and an all-inclusive, politically correct headspace. He (the prof) was suspended by a like-minded administration.
What a disruptive student who needed a personal handler in order to safely navigate within a classroom according to the report was doing at the university needs some explanation. Is this the ultimate result of the No student left behind Ontario teaching policy?
What's next? Fully-accredited graduates unable to function without personal handlers?
It shouldn't be hard to see that investing in the lowest common denominator will ultimately result in bringing everyone down to that level. It's a good way to make education totally meaningless.

Is this a sure sign that our civilization has now run its course and is ready for the scrap heap?
When we went to school in my day, it was to learn whatever we can from our teachers, not judge them.
