Not Thought Police Yet

But SPEECH police.
Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., has hired six students whose jobs as "dialogue facilitators" will involve intervening in conversations among students in dining halls and common rooms to encourage discussion of such social justice issues as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability and social class.
I knew busybodies when I was in college who would have loved to have the imprimatur of the administration to butt into everyone else's business. Thankfully, peer pressure was enough to take care of the jerks among us.
