> Sorry, but you cannot get a proper education with trigger warnings and safe spaces.

[citation needed]




when someone lecturing about evolutionary biological differences in "progressive" universities nobody listens and constantly interrupted by triggered liberals. And same guy with same lecture in more technical or business oriented university will educate more people, on how to exploit evolution to gain more profit. Some people will gain knowledge and profit from it while some will get triggered. I heard about experiences like this before, but this one is form Gad Saad on Joe Rogan podcast. https://youtu.be/TjBgeuTvnnk?t=1h36m9s


Citation is not needed because you can't learn something you can't discuss and you can't properly discuss anything with trigger warnings and safe spaces. I guess we traded trigger warnings and safe spaces for logic in school these days.


I don't see why you can't properly discuss anything with trigger warnings and safe spaces. You can discuss any topic you want, in the proper location, with people who want to discuss it. That's basically just human interaction etiquette, codified.


Totally agree. The students can leave. They will get a zero. They will fail the course. They will eventually have to drop out. That's the natural order of things.

But let's not pretend you can have a conversation with people that do not want to have one. The problem is these idiots also want to pass the course they didn't attend and didn't learn anything from or they want the course censored. Either way, by making these demands, they are the ones attacking students who actually put in the work to learn and students that want to actually learn and not get rid of classes or lessons they don't agree with. No matter how you look at it, it ends up in censorship if you begin to entertain the ridiculous censorship demands of students.

If I was the school's president, I would make sure these people who disrupt class and attack other students' freedoms fail for their lack of work and get kicked out for their attacks on education and other students' ability to obtain a proper education.

Have the president say to the student: "You don't want to participate in the discussion? Here's a fucking zero. Now get the fuck out of my class and if it continues, get the fuck out of my university. Most people here are actually here to learn, not disrupt the education of others." That's basically what U of Chicago is saying ahead of time now and what most universities refuse to say because the money is so plentiful right now.


you quoted someone's statement of personal opinion. it doesn't need a citation. do you really need people to spell it out for you explicitly "hey these words are my opinions"?
