Don’t you understand? Disagreement with liberal ideologies is an actionable tort!

You are allowed to agree.

Disagreement obviously shows that you are either 1) part of a privileged group that wouldn’t ever understand, 2) some kind of “-ist”

I'd think she'd have better luck with IIED than hostile work environment. Hostile work environment requires proving that the harassment took place because the person belongs to a protected class. Bat-shit crazy is not a protected class. Asian is...but I think Dartmouth would have no problem showing lack of a causal connection between her race and the outcome.

"Sanity" is merely a social construct. She also thinks that references to the movie Gattaca are harassing because Gattacca includes “tt”, which references tenure track, which she is not.
