If you were a professor at one of those liberal colleges 'filled with snowflakes', you would do well to read a book by Emily Post, as kag suggests, and not call your students pejorative names. If it be a Catholic college, it would even be better if you actually THOUGHT of your students as individual people rather than as a group of bad dudes or something. As to the 'serious trouble' thingie, college is an excellent place to discuss these ideas in an open forum. That's part and parcel of an academic institution. The 'getting in trouble' thingie mostly has to do with stand-your-ground-shooter-types as professors who can't engage this discussion. The kind who would be calling their own students "snowflakes". You, for instance. My free advice: don't be a professor.
