This really isn't a "liberal" thing, TNF.

In the traditional sense, it's certainly not. Liberals used to be defenders of free speech and opponents of things like monitoring online discussion and cataloging people who make the wrong comment so that they can better 'analyze' that information without of course, divulging to the person in question that they're being monitored. That liberalism is dead though. The new liberalism is all about the state or its equivalents in the private sector being the ever present monitor of all, cataloging information at all times that could be used at any given moment if someone says the wrong words somewhere or does the wrong thing. That it does so for the purported purpose of anti-racism (without ever addressing the structural issues of capitalism that make racism a reality) makes it all the more dangerous, as it can entice well-meaning members of the liberal-left into supporting it.

Given that the Ivy League has a way of producing the next generation of the American ruling class, I'd say there's plenty of reason to expect that these kinds of things will start coming out of Congress in a few decades, which is why its important to lampoon the stupidity of these things in an effort to stop them before we end up with full time sensitivity police sometime in the 2030s.

Ithaca College is not Cornell.  Cornell is Ivy League, Ithaca College is not.

Ah, my apologies. Thank you for correcting me there. Must have gotten the two mixed up.

Believe it or not, TNF, power dynamics do exist and people can be victimized for a number of things. We don't live in your oversimplified world where the only thing that matters is how much money you have and if you're rich you're "bad" and if you're poor you're "good."

Believe it or not, I'm not as dumb as you think I am, and I have never once suggested that power dynamics concerning race and gender, etc. do not exist. Maybe you should try reading my posts once in awhile? I know its difficult for you to understand what I'm getting at here. After all, we can't all be well paid dicks who work in an office like you.
