University of Chicago sends a letter to all incoming freshman to grow a set of testicles.

Someone is going to be triggered lol

They also mentioned that being triggered was not allowed either.

Quote:“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.

That's refreshing.

They need to tell them that if any of that stuff triggers them, that they are p###ies whose mammas apparently didn't pay enough attention to them in their formative years.

In Chicago of all places! Good for them!

Not allowing triggering is triggering.

Are people still trying to push the "safe places" myth?

The fact that you call it a "myth" suggests that, yes you are still trying to push the safe space "myth".

When a major academic university has to flat out tell it's students not to expect safe places then, yeah, it's not a myth. SMH.

Read it yesterday as well. first thought was "About d_mn time someone told these coddled young ones to suck it up"

University of Chicago is a noted conservative bastion within the realm of higher ed so it's not too surprising to see them be the ones to take this step. Just FYI.

Good. Some school needed to input some common sense back into higher education.

Just means they are the only ones with common sense.

And the push back starts...

I'll do that right after you admit that the FBI Director said multiple times that Hillary lied.

That "hoax" is being discussed in the Journal of Higher Education.

You ever heard of it?
