After showing today's article by Hans Hoppe on his ordeal at UNLV to a faculty colleage, the colleague told me of his own brush this year with a "sensitive" student who was offended by one of his macroeconomics lectures. The lecture employed an economic model called the "IS-LM" model. It has the shape of a normal supply-and-demand model on a blackboard, and to illustrate what the model says my colleague had drawn a series of arrows on to the diagram.

A student came up to him after class and claimed to be "personally offended" by the model because all the arrows supposedly made the graph look like a swastika!
