WARNING: I recently did the following study over a short period of time, not knowing exactly what to do with it. I now realize it will be a long time until I'll have the time to go through it, clean up links, language and structure for any serious publication, but as it is a hotly debated topic, I decided to just dump the text as is. So take it "as is".
Over the past few years I have increasingly come across tales of how radical students with strong anti-racist and feminist views are threatening freedom of speech and academic freedom across campuses, particularly in the USA. Key terms describing how this is done are "trigger warnings" and "no platforming", and the students are often described as "Social Justice Warriors".
The criticism of this development is often right wing, but not always. It even made its way into the Norwegian journal, Prosa, a journal about nonfiction prose writing.
How problematic is this in principle?
Nå, like før overgangen til DAB+ og slukkingen av FM-nettet begynner det å bli en smule debatt. Det finnes både gode og dårlige argumenter for å komme med kritikk. Jeg har tidligere ikke giddet å bry meg om en tross alt ikke så stor og viktig sak, men nå - endelig kom ånden over meg. Jeg har i det kommende tenkt å kritisere noen av de dårlige argumentene før jeg rir egne kjepphester rundt digitalisering.
