Joel Peterson, professor of management at the California university and a former chairman of JetBlue Airways, said students at elite institutions were ignorant of history in their rush to 'cancel' perceived oppressors.

Peterson said that he had been reported to the dean for 'triggering' students.

'It all started when President Trump was elected,' Peterson told Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Tuesday.

'I had several students come to me and say they needed time off. They'd been triggered by the election, and they couldn't take their exams.
