Where "diversity" eats itself.

These students don't want diversity. They want everyone to obey their rules. Given that the world is inherently diverse, personalities like this will at some point reach an unadjustable realignment with reality. They can never achieve the level of social rigidity they are asking for to feel "safe". At some point after the collapse, people are going to shake their heads in bemusement at these people who were so isolated and protected from offence during their childhoods that they became utterly incapable of existing in the real world, where we all simply must live together. Like it or not, their dream of "safety" is unnatural. It will never happen, not because it is either a "good" or "bad" idea, but just because the universe is not made this way. This is a boundary condition of life itself. It's scary that this truth of life is beyond their ability to comprehend.
