add this to "the pussification of america"

what's messed up to me is that after VaTech, faculty are required to report all kinds of things now. I have to go through a mandatory update every semester on "warning signs" for many issues and am required to report to my dean on concerning behavior i see in my classes. Reasoning is, that if we see something but don't do enough about it, suddenly we're sued from 4 different angles. I'm not defending this professor, because none of us were there to hear the presentation and don't know what he said that alerted her red flags. One student here gave a presentation in his communications class about the stress relieving ability of playing counterstrike for a few hours and the quote "Nothing like blowing off a few heads to blow off a little steam" was reason enough for investigation. Luckily it was determined that he wasn't the kind of guy that would shoot up the school in any likelihood, but my colleague had to report the issue in case he was a danger.

It's all just fucked up.
