It's one thing to issue parental warnings on albums, Xbox games, etc, parents have a right and a duty to decide what's appropriate for their minor children, but this BS is WAY out of line. I remember when some Christian Fundamentalist groups were ridiculed for their attempts at banning Huck Finn because of some sexual innuendos and other immoralities in their view. Those same hypocrites, almost overnight assailed this very same book because it contains the dreaded n-word. Instead of worrying about maybe offending who knows who, what's wrong with "honesty is the best policy"? Oh, that's a tenet of White privilege, doncha know.

Do “trigger warnings” need a trigger lock ? maybe a “universal background check”, too.?

The liberal arts (an oxymoron if ever there was one) crowd has totally beclowned themselves out of any relevance to life.

Those very same libs - accompanied by some D level science grads (can you say climate change?) are trying to get science down to the same level...thereby making the libs seem almost intellegent again.

Won’t work, clowns. You’re stupid.

Get used to it.

Live it.

Love it.

Every university education worth the name should come with a trigger warning on a Freshman’s first day: You will encounter disturbing things here. Deal with it.

““ Warning: This book includes a rape scene ,” for example, would warn rape victims lest they be traumatized by the contents. “


I am so glad I’m at the end of my life and not just starting out.

This is pure madness.
