Universities are bringing down the hammer on free expression, to keep
their spaces safe for clapping triggered anxiety snowflakes.

When will this ongoing madness end?  Probably not before the looming
USD global financial reset, since TPTB (the (((central bankers and
investment bankers))) of the world) want us to stay focused on petty
problems, and not the core issue...

  ... remember the Fed ;)



  Oxford University Bans Clapping At Student Union Events
  To "Stop Triggering Anxiety"

  What kind of grudge do British universities have against clapping?
  Roughly one year after the University of Manchester Student Union
  banned clapping at its events - choosing to instead ask audiences
  to use 'jazz hands' to show their appreciation for a performance -
  students at the University of Oxford are working to "replace
  clapping" because it could "trigger anxiety."

  Like their peers in Manchester, they will ask audiences to use
  silent hand-wave motion called "jazz hands".

  The motion to "mandate the encouragement of silent clapping"
  successfully passed in a vote taken by the school's Student Union
  during their first meeting of the new school year.

  The ruling will apply at all student union events, and if
  successful, might spread to over organizations and events at the
  school.

  "Jazz hands" is the British Sign Language movement to express
  applause. It is considered a "more inclusive" gesture.

    "The policy was proposed in order to encourage the use of British
    Sign Language clapping during our democratic events, to make
    those events more accessible and inclusive for all, including
    people who suffer from anxiety," said Sabbatical Officers Roisin
    McCallion.

  And "inclusivity" is one of the universities' founding virtues,
  Metro UK said.



And, of course, it's only a matter of time before "excessively
vigorous jazz hands" and any significant vocal expressions are banned
with only "gentle waving" allowed, in order to "stop triggering
anxiety" in those who are triggered by rapid or vigorous muscular
motions...

Methinks SOME folks need some counselling...
