I get the feel of it being a wild over-reaction to a genuine problem.

And the basic problem is the sort of social misbehaviour that should have been sorted out before a kid starts High School. Trouble is, this is the sort of bullying incompetence I associate with bad teaching, and it's being applied to students who are, in law, adults, able to vote, make contracts, and all that stuff.

And it's ending up as a thought-crime response.

Trouble is, when an American says some organisation is "right wing", these days, it conjures up an image of the members having neatly folded brown shirts and armbands in their bottom drawer, just in case. And they're against this policy not because they want freedom of speech, but because they want to be able to express thweir hatred of people like us. I really hope I'm misjudging FIRE, but the past few years of American politics leave me biased: that looks like the way to bet.
