My kids where 8 years apart. The boy, older, got the corporal punishment and no “safe space” treatment. He understood authority and what his role in the family had to be. Eight years younger, my daughter who besides maturing much earlier than her brother also came up in a time where rights of the child, safe homes, claims of abuse or their autonomy, even at 17, was a near-legal fact.
Today, teenagers and their peers know all the laws, they're very well versed in what trouble you can get a parent into with the right claims. They were taught all this by their predecessors just a couple or three or four years ahead of them, greatly supplemented with liberal media hyping the new cause celeb re AND college professors who sat in their college classrooms and in their cloistered offices and preached to us all about how their views on history and society are the only ones that count.
Somehow I just don't think a group of privileged professors being “scared” or in “fear” of students’ demands for ‘safe spaces’ plays very high up on my give-a-sh!t meter. I think they're rightly reaping what they've sown.
“I think they’re rightly reaping what they’ve sown.”
My thoughts exactly!!!!
Corporal punishment may become the new sexual assault of future.

There is a substantial divide between the STEM professors and liberal farts profs. Those of us in the hard sciences, medicine, engineering are about 50% on the conservative side. I see the TEA party stickers on their bumpers in just the one parking lot where I work.
I think they’re rightly reaping what they’ve sown.
