It seems that the Constitution is as triggering as the Confederate Battle Flag. The effect resembles that attributed to the effect of a cross on vampires. or water on the Wicked Witch.
VIDEO: Administrators literally shred Constitution after reporter calls it 'oppressive' and 'triggering' Peter Fricke Investigative Reporter on Nov 03, 2015 at 8:02 AM
A reporter from Project Veritas covertly filmed administrators at Vassar College agreeing to shred the Constitution.
Other profs. at Oberlin are shown in the video seemingly agreeing that the Constitution is "oppressive" and "causes people pain."
Administrators at Vassar College agreed to personally shred a pocket Constitution after an undercover reporter posing as a student complained that she felt “triggered” by its distribution on campus, while professors at Oberlin College confided that they shared the reporter's misgivings about the founding document.
The video was produced by Project Veritas, a non-profit established by conservative journalist James O’Keefe, and employs a similar style to the undercover ACORN videos that first brought him to prominence.

“Last week something kinda happened on campus that kind of really upset me and I ended up having a panic attack,” the reporter tells Vassar College Assistant Director of Equal Opportunity Kelly Grab. “It’s just I’ve been kind of hiding out in my room ever since kind of scared, so, finally somebody told me I should maybe come talk to you about it and see if there’s anything that can happen or anything … They were handing the Constitution out on campus.”
“Oh, CATO Institute,” Grab murmurs while looking the booklet over.
“They were handing it out and as soon as I saw it you know I started to not be able to breathe, hyperventilating,” the reporter elaborated. “My vision went blurry and I just—kind of just lost control.”
After establishing that the reaction was triggered merely by the offering of copies of the Constitution and not by anything the group had said, Grab offers her sympathies to the reporter.
