i love a lot of jonathan haidts work. he almost makes me miss academia!
obviously a lot of different ways to look at this. but when i was in school, i found most of the policies around mental health condescending and prevented me from reaching my potential or being held accountable.
and a lot of the mental health activists on my campus really were not accepting of people with different opinions than they had. anyone who disagreed with them was promoting stigma... anything that prevents discussion is problematic, in my opinion. i have felt more stigmatized by being sheltered from the world than from those who others view as offensive.
