Here's the essay that got a student's dorm vandalized and was praised by Michael Bloomberg at the University of Michigan's commencement
At one point, he turned his attention to graduating senior Omar Mahmood to commend him for not caving to political correctness.
"I know that one of today's graduates, Omar Mahmood, has faced threats and intimidation because he dared to write political satire about being left-handed in the Michigan Daily and he refused to apologize for it," Bloomberg said during the speech.
"Omar, wherever you are out there, I'm glad you stood your ground," he continued.
Mahmood wrote a piece of political satire in 2014 called "Do the Left Thing" for The Michigan Review, which touched on stifling free speech in favor of political correctness.
That piece drew the ire of some students on campus, and the door to Mahmood's room was vandalized with hate messages as a result. He was even fired from a position at another college publication.
