In the wake of the VT shootings:
Hamline stood ready to treat its entire student body as victims, offering all sorts of free and presumably anonymous counseling and "coping" assistance. When one of them challenged that status, they use the same mechanism to humiliate and punish him. Either Stern has never read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, or he has only done so as a do-it-yourself guide to political correctness and punishment for its violators.
It is all too true. Too often today so called liberals are demanding "re-education" for any who oppose them. They will admit to no rational ground to stand against their wishes. To oppose their agenda is, they feel, evidence of an "unbalanced" mind.
It is a short step from here to the psychopharmalogical "neutralization" of dissent.
