Amherst College has released an Orwellian Common Language Guide to Police Student Speech on campus.

We will examine the most perverse definitions, as well as the left's obsession with language.

Then, Portland State pushes speech codes, studies show that trigger warnings are absolutely useless,

and Cambridge disinvites Jordan Peterson.

What do all of these episodes tell us about the modern left?

We will explore.

I'm Michael Knowles.

This is the Michael Knowles Show.

Oh, man, I think that what these colleges are doing today is basically covering for those rich parents who bought their kids way into school.

That was the big scandal.

That was the biggest scandal in higher education ever concerning elite universities,

until about five minutes later, when these universities, again and again, speech codes, common language guides.

This is really perverse. This was so bad that the head of the university and the head of the office of diversity and inclusion at Amherst both had to issue apologies, both had to pull away.

This guide, luckily, we have screenshots so we can read the definitions, because this was no accident.

What this was is being described as a gaff.

You know, you hear politicians have a gaff, and what a gaff is supposed to be is when you mistakenly say something you didn't mean.

In reality, what a gaff is is when you say exactly what you mean, but it's not received well, and you weren't supposed to say it, and you were trying to be more deceptive.

That's exactly what's happening here.

This is all for a purpose. This ties into the trigger warnings. This ties into disinviting Jordan Peterson. We'll get to all of that.

But first, let's make a little money, honey, with ring.

Speaking of safe spaces, you should actually have a safe space, and ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.

You probably already know about their smart video doorbells and cameras that protect millions of people everywhere.
