This University President’s Response to a Demand for ‘Safe Spaces’ is Epic
[Image: 313m00l.jpg]

Run for the hills, little snowflakes…

Quote:Dr. Anne Scott, an English professor at Northern Arizona University (NAU), recently came under fire for docking a point off a student’s paper for using the term “mankind” instead of “humanity.”

Now, a handful of NAU students are demanding university President Rita Cheng resign from her position, unless she deems the campus a “safe space” for students.

The declaration came during a university forum Cheng hosted to give benefactors an update on the state of the college.

“How can you promote safe spaces, if you don’t take action in situations of injustice – such as, last week, when we had the preacher on campus, and he was promoting hate speech against marginalized students?” sophomore Breanna Kramer asked Cheng. “As well as not speaking out against racist incidents like blackface two months ago by student workers followed by no reform and no repercussions?”

Cheng’s response was perfect, and it probably has liberals cringing:

“As a university professor, I’m not sure I have any support at all for safe space,” Cheng refuted. “I think that you, as a student, have to develop the skills to be successful in this world, and that we need to provide you with the opportunity for discourse and debate and dialogue and academic inquiry, and I’m not sure that that is correlated with the notion of safe space as I’ve seen that.”

Well, just saw this going on at Notre Dame...

Notre Dame Snowflakes Triggered By VP Pence Giving Commencement Speech And Invading Their Safe Space…


[Image: 28somqq.jpg]

Suck it up, buttercups as you prepare to enter the real world.

Quote:University of Notre Dame students have begun a “#NotMyCommencementSpeaker” white board campaign to protest the invitation of Vice President Mike Pence to speak at Commencement.

Last week, seniors Immane Mondane and Jourdyhn Williams invited students to take photos holding white boards with “direct quotes from Pence that are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, offensive, or ostracizing to members of our community,” along with the hashtag “#NotMyCommencementSpeaker.”

Alternatively, students could also write about why they “feel unsafe with the presence of Mike Pence on our campus,” with daily opportunities to have photos taken with their whiteboards through the week.

Once all the photos have been compiled, the organizers plan to share them on social media in hopes of starting a “discussion” about Pence’s invitation.

“For me personally, [Pence] represents the larger Trump administration,” Mondane told The Observer. “His administration represents something, and for many people on our campus, it makes them feel unsafe to have someone who openly is offensive but also demeaning of their humanity and of their life and of their identity.”

While the photos do not appear to have been posted yet, Mondane provided The Observer with several examples of the complaints that students shared.

One student used a quote from Pence favoring traditional marriage, writing on their board, “‘Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal status with heterosexual marriage’ -Pence #NotMyCommencementSpeaker.”

Another read, “Because I am the daughter of Immigrants Family [sic] of LGBTQ folks.”

Perhaps we need to have a Hells Angels Day on college campuses where they get to come in and invade the "safe spaces" for a day. Make it a TV show and it will be more popular than M*A*S*H.
