True although the reason the students are rightly mocked is that no one is pelting them with hate speech. Like the professor who tried to tell students that they should talk to each other about Halloween costumes and why they find them offensive... she was hoping to open a dialogue about cultural appropriation and build some understanding. Her point was that not everything is best served by creating some new rule set down from the campus administration.
No one in their right mind would be calling for a professor's dismissal after that, sorry, that's not hate speech. It's just overly-sensitive young people who are not going to be prepared for the real world if that is how they approach things they disagree with. They deserved to be mocked and lol at people saying "hey those kids just wanted safe spaces, what's the big deal?"
