You just exposed yourself and your academic background, or lack there of one...

Wrong again. Having gone to both a goodish school and a top one, there is a gigantic difference in the rigor of the courses and in the quality of the teaching. Stuff I heard from people who have done the same thing. Science and math course for non-science majors and humanities courses for non-humanities majors should…

Nope. It's not a good thing. I'm going to assume you're trolling, because that sentiment is so laughably misguided you must be a troll.

I remember having to walk along the quad after some right-to-life group had turned it into a graveyard for aborted fetuses. I had not long had an abortion and it was an extremely emotional time. Oh and then my school paper had me cover the demonstration against it. It was rough, but I swallowed hard and got on with…

I work in a newsroom and in academia.

The way the NY Times presents it is a little more iron-fisted than I've ever seen it put — mostly, people seem to be asking for a line like "Some of this material may be upsetting," not "Some of this material may be upsetting DEFINITELY STOP READING IF IT IS." That's a really important distinction that seems to be…

No. I'm not going to change my reading list to address your special needs, because I have another student who was in the Iraq war, and has different triggers, and another student who has an eating disorder and has different triggers. I have over 100 students. I cannot be guardian for all of their mental health…

As an adult, you can structure your life as you please.

Differential Equations is the most fun you can have in a math class.

Having suffered the traumatic experience of attempting coherent notes during masters level quantum dynamics lectures, a trigger warning might be helpful.

But the problem is that trigger warnings have become so open ended that they cant be reasonably addressed. A good friend of mine who was sexually assaulted can no longer here the music that was playing at the time without being triggered, but you can't really warn people about specific things like that. But to the…

At good schools, even science majors are exposed to the arts, just as arts majors are exposed to basic science and math.

I think they should read it. A student who approaches a professor with concerns over material should get a special one on one with a counselor or teacher, etc. to read over the contested passages.

This is the part I would find difficult as well - where does it ever end? Once I am required to give TWs for my readings, it is my obligation to be hyperaware of ALL of the possibilities the literature could be triggering, and this can lead to all sorts of trouble for me if I DON'T manage to uncover all triggering…

In breading?

As a resident of Southern Oregon, I'm appalled by your lack of spelling, grammar, and tact. Why target a group of people or place that you are seemingly ignorant of? It comes off as similar to those who spout hate towards other groups... If you catch my drift

But the District Court never heard, and this Court will never have the opportunity to consider, such arguments absent intervention by someone willing and able to make them.

That presumes that the only branch of government with constitutional responsibilities is the court. The executive and legislative branches have independent obligations to obey the law, including the constitution. Where the branches conflict in their interpretations, the courts' determinations win out. But the…

No, see, the ruling was made, and Oregon executive's legal opinion is in agreement with the ruling. Why fight the ruling? This is all part of the balance of powers. The legislative branch got too big for its britches, now the judicial and executive branches are using their areas of power to rebalance. That's a…

"If she hadn't altered herself into a barbie and walked naked down the street there'd be no issue." That's a pretty standard statement for a slut shamer. If she were raped under those circumstances, would you say she deserved it?
