Daniel Heath Justice, professor of First Nations and Indigenous Studies and English at UBC, writes about conservative critiques of “student ‘snowflakes’—represented as terminology-obsessed, identity-focused, emotionally overwrought busybodies.” More kindness, generosity and patience on the part of teachers in regards to their students, he says, can make for a more inclusive and supportive, and therefore more successful learning environment.
