Teacher suspended for withdrawing rec. letter of student who displayed swasitka

What sort of world have we made when you can't even offend a nazi?

We haven't made that world. We have made the world we the Nazi is accountable for his words/actions just like everyone else, and the right or the anti-SJW/PC movement want to frame it like safe spaces and trigger warnings mean more than they do, or that people who take the idea and make a farce out of it are representative of what the idea means in the first place.

If you call someone a nigger on Twitter or make ape memes about a black actress, you are a racist at the very least, and you are often publicly held accountable for your idiocy. Your ideas aren't 'shut down' or 'censored' because people tell you to fuck off. You can continue tweeting until Twitter decides that you represent a threat to their ability to make money or you have violated their terms of use, or you can continue yelling in the streets until some idiot punches you.

The "PC World" people cry so much about is literally the exact same thing they are accusing the left of doing. They don't want to hear opposition, so they call people who protest and speak out against them "anti-free speech" and "snowflakes" and "triggered SJWs," then go use the exact same tactics themselves.

Yeah, they are using that exact same tactics. That's exactly what I said in my first post, which you objected to even though now it appears you agree with me.

I take a larger view of these things, which is that the very idea that being offended isn't this terrible terrible thing that people make it out to be. That's regardless of whether or not you are right wing or left wing. However the idea of a hyper-offended society, which this case is a symptom of, definitely originates with the left wing, I started seeing it personally in the early 2000s when applying to Islam. Left wing people saying that you can't offend Muslims, as though offending someone is the same as assaulting them. Now right wing people has seen the usefulness of it (it allows you to criticize others and shield yourself from criticism) and are applying it to themselves. That's what I meant by the left is laying in the bed they made for themselves.

For some people everything falls into a left/right dichotomy. That it's fair for left wingers to use and not for the right. For me I take a broader view of the whole thing. We need to be a less politically correct society across the board. People getting their feelings hurt is not a cause to actually have an affect on someone's life or job. If a teacher wants to not endorse someone for being a nazi (or a radical muslim) then that's fine. I bet if this case were about a teacher withdrawing support for someone for being a Muslim who had all the same beliefs as that nazi (or swastika drawer, since who knows.) Then left wing people would be throwing a fit.
