Yeah, but as long as you're not part of the problem right? I don't see the inherent evil in these P.C. groups. I understand there is a problem with over-theorizing and not stepping beyond that into action, but that's not what these student groups are doing. Most of them do act, maybe not as radically as one would like, but hey, at least they are voicing concern, attracting attention to social/poltical issues, and perhaps engaging other students who would not have gotten involved otherwise. It's better than doing nothing imo.
