They begin with recent examples of the growing trend of collegiate sensibility: “Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for the New Yorker about students of jurisprudence who asked her fellow Harvard professors not to teach rape law… or… use the word violate” (Lukianoff 1). Showing an example of student extremists attempting to avoid student discomfort, Lukianoff and Haidt then follow two examples of articles written by professors, one that later received complaints from students and one too scared to even publish the article under his real name. To effectively prove their point, Lukianoff and Haidt end their introduction with the fact that even professional comedians are too scared to perform shows at universities claiming that students “can't stand jokes” (Lukianoff 1). This introduction effectively drives their initial argument that students have been coddled to such an extent that they take everything so offensively that it even scares their own children.
