I think he’s pointing out that cultural norms are getting out of control, and sometimes absurd. Not enough critical thinking is taking place. In it’s place is knee-jerk outrage.

Which norms are you referring to here specifically? Students today are very unsure about what values they still need to fight for and the message of some activists seems unclear.

For a moment there it sounded like you were equating his inflammatory research with the feces left by his office and the vandalism of sound equipment during his sessions.

Many of the responses he has gotten would be criminal outside the institutional process. It's a specious comparison.

For me, there's an extreme reaction to his actions. He is definitely stirring the pot a little much, but does he deserve this treatment?
