I'm the first person in my family to even graduate high school, so I don't have any family stories. But I had a female professor that announced to the whole class that she strives to make sure no men get above a C in her classroom. And that was around 2004. It makes me wonder what kind of articles will be written 30 years from now, based on what I read is happening on campuses.

I feel like the bad experiences probably stand out more than the average. My wife got her masters around 2012, and one of her teachers would discuss political topics then participate in heckling anyone with stances that weren't completely left leaning. Even defending people with these views made you a target.

But all of the other teachers were pretty standard.

This is a point I think needs to made more often. Bad things get way more attention and I think people on both the left and the right, both social justice people and free speech people, have a bias to exaggerate the extent that these things are happening. Sometimes people just need to take a breath and relax.
