Completely missed the point of trigger warnings and safe spaces, HL.
What do you view the point of these strictures that was missed?
Trigger warnings for example are not meant to keep people from "being offended" but to warn people who may be forced to relive painful memories. For example a discussion of rape may cause a victim of sexual assault to have flashbacks or things of the sort. Safe spaces are not about anyone blocking out other opinions, but to allow people who have suffered trauma or abuse(such as the LGBT community) to meet others who have had similar experiences and not be criticized for being gay or trans or in a slightly more extreme example as victims of rape not having assholes claim that they are lying.
I truly hope that that made sense
That is what the concept was supposed to be originally I think, however it has extended well beyond that to protect people from being offended by certain ideas. I agree with the spirit of the letter, but I think it could have been more clear about understanding that there is a place for the type of the thing you describe, so long as it is not carried out in a way that stifles debate and discussion, or shuts out challenging material from being part of courses.
