 Public university may expel students for inflicting ‘emotional distress’ on others

ACLU says policy may be unconstitutional

A policy at a public university in Mississippi stipulates that students may be suspended or expelled for “inflict[ing] mental or emotional distress on others.”

Policy 27 of Delta State University’s “Student Regulations” states that “words, behavior, and/or actions which inflict mental or emotional distress on others and/or disrupt the educational environment at Delta State University” could possibly “subject violators to appropriate disciplinary action, including suspension and expulsion.”

There's a very twisted irony in putting a gun to society's head to force political correctness. When will people learn that you can't force others to see the world your way, and that when you try to you make bridges between opposing ideas impossible?
