Why only “interpersonal” violence? Remember in the ‘90s the ad campaign “Violence, don’t play that game” was about public violence in the streets, and domestic violence alike. But it was deemed “racist” by partisans, and it was retracted. Replaced with “systemic racism” excuse making.
It’s their program. Go ahead and create one “snowflake”
I kid. But really, not everything needs to serve you.
