When feels matter more than facts

When Ben Shapiro’s says that “facts don’t care about your feelings,” his words should be recognized as a universal truth. But on college campuses these days, feelings trump facts with disturbing frequency.

If you hurt someone’s feelings on a college campus, you’re in for a world of actual, career- or future-harming hurt. It does not matter if what you said should have been easily shaken off or forgotten. The offense need not be “pervasive” or even objectively offensive anymore, as long as it hurts the feelings of the most delicate among us.
