Bisexual Student Criticizes Islam; threatened with "Behavior Intervention Team"
Nice (and appropriate) 1984 reference. A good deal of Kafka also. It seems this is another area where the inmates are running the asylum.
http://reason.com/blog/2017/10/30/philosophy-bisexual-islam-ut-san-antonioA bisexual male student at the University of Texas–San Antonio said during an informal conversation outside class that he was uncomfortable with Islam because people still receive the death penalty for being gay in 10 Muslim-majority countries.
For expressing this thought, the student—Alfred MacDonald, who no longer attends the school—was instructed to meet with the chair of the philosophy department, Eve Browning. Prof. Browning told MacDonald in no uncertain terms that he had committed the crime of "offending" someone, and she warned him that his habit of saying what he thinks could bring down the entire program. She threatened to call the Behavior Intervention Team and refer MacDonald to counseling. She did everything but send him to Room 101.
