Is this really what students want? Surely they just want the right to tell a cunt that he's a cunt.
For example, I have the right to say "William Hague is a bald cunt", which he is, and he must accept that he may be offended and upset by this.

'Nowhere will be safe for teenagers while I'm around.' is an odd boast, Bill.

William Hague still being a thundering tool after all these years.

The Catcher in the Rye is about a teenager struggling with the grief of losing his younger brother to cancer and it's strongly hinted that the narrator has been a victim of childhood molestation or worse and everyone who takes that story and turns it into "rich kid won't stop whining" is illiterate.
