Your sentence structure is kind of stupid. Guess you’re following your own advise and won’t be having kids. Society thanks you.

I have never heard of this and I am afraid to click on the link.

Interesting to see you have had every black college student’s experience ever, and they happen to all have been the same.

You are just in time for Jezebel though, which is probably worse.

One thing in life that I am grateful for is that I graduated high school before No Child Left Behind, and that I graduated college before Tumblr.

As a Jezebelian you have way more in common with Tumblr than you think. The two sites are practically mirror images of each other. Don’t let yourself believe that you are so much better.

The left has completely destroyed the meaning and purpose being having both safe spaces and trigger warning, then of course complain when some place like the U of Chicago decide they won’t go with that anymore.

Those examples highlight the issue pretty well. Something that started as “we have empathy for people with PTSD and are going to do this totally innocuous and inconsequential thing that might help them” becomes “shitty people try to abuse that empathy to get out of work.”

When college students are “occupying” professors’ and administrators offices and locking professors and administrators into buildings for not getting the trigger warnings and “safe spaces” they think they deserve (both of which has happened at my alma mater, a well-known university, during the last academic year) then…

It seems to me that 20-somethings do have a certain amount of power, tenure or no. There in fact have been a few cases where tenured professors have been hauled before investigative boards based on the outrage of 20-somethings. While I am not saying that they hold a preponderance of power, let us not be naive in…

Actually, I had not really seen much of what Sweet Dee is a Bird has said until the other day when I was walking out of the side entrance of the Reg (the Library) into a space between the Reg and Bart. There was a Jewish student group holding some event where they were playing music and milling around and talking and…

That level of protest seems like overkill. Why not organize a campus employee walk out? Or a march to protest fossil fuel investment? There is such thing as tact.

I don’t know about Chicago specifically, but there have been cases of protesters blocking access and assaulting student reporters for “invading their safe protest space”

As a current student at the University of Chicago I can agree with your BFs sentiment. It must be in the water. I thought the statement (and this is the first time I am seeing it) is balanced and very needed.

Yeah, that’s a terrible example, but I think the point that the “real world” does not adjust to you is valid. I think a better point would be the UChicago student I saw today deriding the lack of trigger warnings for spiders in a bio textbook given that he has arachnophobia. The spiders in your cupboard do not care…

Yes, during lectures or and speakers, they will start blowing whistles and disrupting speeches to the point where the lecture/speaker can’t speak. In some scenarios, they have physically stolen mics from the speakers.

I believe the sexual assault part was to remind us that we should hate the school’s stance of trigger warnings/safe spaces because they have unrelated issues elsewhere.

I think the whole “occupation of the president’s office” detail was the part they had trouble with... and they still let him graduate anyway.

Imagine the same policy told to the delicate flowers of Oberlin...

Pretty sure they wouldn’t have called a disciplinary hearing if he had expressed his thoughts in a newspaper column or radio show, or leaflets passed around the campus.
