These safe space special snowflakes and their trigger warnings and microaggressions - my God what a bunch of pansies.

Thank goodness our forthcoming robot overlords will probably be be culling the herd before these pussies get out in the real world and into positions of any responsibility or consequence.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Freedom of Speech was taught in colleges?

Can't, it's too scary, and racist, or something.

“So many of us shared in our pain. I felt I was in danger, and I felt so many people in that room were in danger,” proclaimed Marcus Robinson, student and president of the Pittsburgh Rainbow Alliance.

Danger of what?  What did he believe he was in danger of?  Has he gone so far down the path of dehumanizing those he hates that he no longer believes them to be capable of normal human behavior?  What indication did he get that there was any danger?

I don't want to hear about hurt feelings.  If there was a legitimate dangerous situation, I want to know.  But an accusation of feeling unsafe is about Marcus, not about any reality.  If the rest of the world has to go out of their way to make Marcus feel safe, then doesn't Marcus have to go out of HIS way to make the world feel safe around him?  Because I certainly don't, I feel like if I speak around him, I'd be excoriated for "hateful" speech, like saying that all men are created equal and how individual freedom requires respecting those you don't like too.

Have at it buttercup....

Sad, but it seems to be becoming the norm throughout academia.

we are now living in a society where so many people don't understand that the illusion of safety is not safety, that feeling safe is not the same as being safe.

And I'm not just referrrng to snowflakes like the precious students at college.

It is, and you can write anything that parrots the Progressive agenda.
