As if you needed further proof that institutions of higher education these days are dominated by irrational totalitarians, here is a mind-boggling short video posted to social media and going viral which shows a Canadian college student whose pro-Trump hat causes surrounding students to lose what remains of their narrow minds.

CBC News reports that Matt Linder, a student at Mount Royal University, was confronted on campus about his “Make American Great Again” hat by Zoe Slusar, the former vice president of student life for the school. She said the slogan was “hate language” and he needed to remove it or accompany her to discuss it with the university president.

You read that right.

"I'm not allowed to support a political candidate?" Linder asks.

"You're not allowed to share hate language at the university," said Slusar.

Linder's friend, who is filming this, jumps in and asks, "What is hate language about this?"

“Make America Great Again means make America all for white people: no immigrants, no people of different sexual orientation,” she explains.

“You just said he doesn’t like immigrants,” the friend argues. “His wife’s an immigrant. It’s illegal immigrants he doesn’t want.”

Slusar is undeterred and demands that she come with him to discuss it with the university President David Docherty.

Other students begin to gather around. One is so incensed by the presence of the dangerous hat that he approaches and screams for the pair to leave. Later he courageously snatches the hat from Linder's head and makes off with it, sparing all the other students the trauma of having to face a hat slogan that represents an idea with which they disagree.

“He is allowed to wear the hat,” Slusar later wrote to CBC News. How gracious of her. She went on:

“As a student, I disagree with what the hat represents. I have diverse friends (culturally and sexually) who would drop a class if the person wearing the hat was sitting in the room with them, because they would feel unsafe. Given the deeper issues of intolerance and oppression represented by the hat, I disagree with it.”

Ms. Slusar, if you have friends who feel unsafe because of a hat, you need new friends.

Slusar later posted about the encounter on social media:

"I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off, explaining a university should be a safe space. It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid."

The university declined to comment on the specifics of the incident, of course, because college administrations today are terrified of the SJW students they have helped create.
