or "Thought Police," but don't say that too loud!

Queen’s university has hired six students as “dialogue facilitators” in an attempt to improve sensitivity and embrace diversity.

The program, introduced last week, has the facilitators living and working on campus residences. Their job is to prevent offensive language, like racial slurs or homophobic and misogynist remarks. For example, facilitators would stop students from using phrases like “that’s so gay” and “retard” in conversations that are loud enough for a third party to overhear. They will also hold movie nights and book readings on a range of social issues on campus.

I think sensitivity and diversity are values, but then again so is free speech which is a right. I'm wondering how many U.S. universities have dialogue facilitators?
