University of Chicago warns new students that they won't get trigger warnings or safe spaces

[CACtain Planet]

Students at the University of Chicago have been warned not to expect safe spaces or trigger warnings in the wake of several disrupted events at the institution at the hands of protesters.

University officials are said to have told first-year students starting in the fall of its commitment to freedom of expression, saying it wanted civility and mutual respect but that it would still seek out ideas or opinions that were unpopular.

The move comes after three high-profile incidents this year in which speakers invited to the university were interrupted or shut down and amid a trend of increasing political correctness on campus.

Good a University should be a place where debate and radical thought on both sides have a platform. Not some garbage hideaway camp for little kids.

As someone who passes the University of Chicago often let's just say this isn't tailored towards the black popualce who attend that school.

Meanwhile Chicago State Uni, which isn't even an hour away from UoC is having trouble staying open and has bigger issues to attend to

And of course they took the most extreme examples of safe spaces and ran with it. Midwestern idiocy strikes again.

Good. There aren't safe spaces in the real world and these inactivists are overly sensitive dweebs. Instead of engaging or facing the real world they want a place to hide too.

All yall who are singing this tune right now BETTER be saying the same hit when kkk rallyies and speakers show up and say what they got to say..


Colleges and universities are still schools at the end of and in the day. They are there to install knowledge and secure safety for their students.

okay, but when black students start protesting aggressively against UOC lack of diversity ( they have done this twice in the last four years), UOC better be cool with this. I remember UOC shut them down in 2013, they better be cool with it now.
