Two Yale professors have resigned after protests condemning the wife's comments that students should be free to push boundaries with Halloween costumes.

Faculty member Erika Christakis, who runs courses on child development and psychology, has decided not to teach classes from the start of the spring semester, the Ivy League university announced via its website on Monday.

'I have great respect and affection for my students but I worry that the current climate at Yale is not, in my view, conducive to the civil dialogue and open inquiry required to solve our urgent societal problems,' Mrs Christakis said in an email to The Washington Post. 

PC climate at colleges has gotten pretty bad. People say Millenials are more tolerant. More like tolerant of things that people did not approve. Millenials are more closed minded.

This is what you asked for liberals.  This is what decades of kids not being told "no" or having to deal with real life leads to. Now YOU are the ones on the chopping block, so you might as well... :ownit:

The mentally-ill snowflakes claim another scalp.  Sad.

Anyone remember the movie PCU? Damn if that film didn't end up being prophetic.
