University of Chicago to students: No 'safe spaces' here!
My personal thoughts on this . . . . ABOUT TIME and I hope other places with safe spaces will do the same! I hate safe spaces! Always have, always will! It's just another PC form of censorship in my book. I violate those so-called safe spaces whenever possible. Always have and always will. I also take heat for my "bad attitude" but I have skin thicker than a rhinoceros.
This will warm the cockles of your heart, whatever cockles are.
The University of Chicago, one of America’s most prestigious and selective universities, is warning incoming students starting this fall not to expect safe spaces and a trigger-free existence during their four-year journey through academia.
In a letter sent to the class of 2020, university officials said one of the defining characteristics of the school was its unwavering commitment to freedom of inquiry and expression. Civility and mutual respect are vital to the campus culture, the letter states, but not at the expense of shielding students from unpopular opinions or ideas.
“Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so-called “trigger warnings,” we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual “safe spaces” where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own,” the letter states.
The University of Chicago is consistently ranked one of the top universities in the world, and also one of the most selective. Only about 8 percent of the more than 31,000 people who applied to enter the class of 2020 were accepted by the school.
The warning from Chicago stands in sharp contrast to many other American universities that have gone out of their way to coddle students by protecting them from ideas they may find offensive or disturbing.
The University of Chicago is having none of it. To drive home the point, the letter to students includes a link to a report on freedom of expression issued by the university in January 2015. The report quotes a former president of the University, Hanna Holborn Gray, as saying that “education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think.

Have another liberal dose! This is a subject close to my heart since one of my best friends is a professor at (un-named) university and I've been hearing a marked uptick in his horror stories. He's pretty liberal and even he is disgusted! I hope somebody is watching these videos cause through my professor friend I'm experiencing this nonsense vicariously through him.
