I should also note that I'm still currently a grad student, and at least in my discipline, our code of ethics makes very clear that we have specific duties to underrepresented and marginalized groups (at the very least, trying not to perpetuate problems), from which many people extrapolate not just marginalized identities (race, class, gender, etc.) but also experiences (sexual assault, IPV, various other traumas). We also talk about ethics in teaching a lot, since we produce a lot of educators, which I know not every discipline does, so I understand that not every educator comes from this background and may find the challenges more difficult to navigate or may be more surprised when issues do arise. I just think the knee-jerk defense of protecting academic freedom and the characterization of students in need of support as sheltered babies need to be scrutinized, not least because it seems to be an ironic lack of critical and creative thinking in defense of the ideal of critical and creative thinking. SORRY I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.

And also just in general the approach of "let's find a few representatives of [thing] and then use them to judge the whole of [thing]" gets bothersome.

Oh gosh, yeah. Judging from the framing of this op-ed and the reaction in the comments, these are also some pretty extreme examples that may be mischaracterized by the writer, so I find it hard to swallow that these are at all the norm?
