DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Ivy League Students Kick SNL Comedian Nimesh Patel Off Stage.

Another Barnard student, Sofia Jao, told The Columbia Spectator she takes offense at Patel’s insinuation that comedy is acceptable “in the real world.”

“When older generations say you need to stop being so sensitive, it’s like undermining what our generation is trying to do in accepting others and making it safer,” said Jao.

“Obviously the world is not a safe space but just accepting that it’s not and continuing to perpetuate the un-safeness of it… is saying that it can’t be changed,” she added.

There’s a reason why Jerry Seinfeld and other superstar comedians are increasingly rejecting playing on college campuses. Who wants to play to audiences of humorless PC scolds?
