The University of Chicago Provides Leadership

The University of Chicago recently sent a letter to incoming students putting them on notice that no trigger warnings or safe spaces will be on offer. No controversial speakers will be cancelled to preserve the delicate snowflakes' peace of mind.

This will drive the various ______ Studies faculties wild. You know - Women's Studies, Black Studies, Hispanic Studies, LGBTQ Studies, etc.

In short, U. of Chicago warned students they may find their beliefs challenged and offered no apologies therefor. As in, get over it, grow up.

Way to go, Chicago. Sure, it's long overdue, but bravo nevertheless. And I understand some other campuses of note have instituted the same tough love policy, for that's what it is.
