Never mind that he’s talking about many who his university educated, including me. Any of you who question campus preoccupation with safe spaces, trigger warnings and microagressions are idiots and lunatics. That’s what Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro told new students this past week in his welcoming address. Articles about his comments include those in CampusReform and The Daily Northwestern.
“Look for safe spaces,” Schapiro told the freshman, and he pledged that “if you can’t find them, we will help you find them.” Regarding traumatic ideas, Schapiro says, “If they say that…you shouldn’t be warned to prepare yourself psychologically for that, that somehow that’s coddling, those people are lunatics.”
The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Words like “idiot” and “lunatic” are just the kind from which the safe space crowd thinks it should be protected.
Contempt for stereotyping is also high among their pieties. Yet Schapiro told his students, “The people who decry safe spaces do it from their segregated housing places, from their jobs without diversity — they do it from their country clubs. It just drives me nuts.”
But it’s the microagression thing that’s most interesting. Those who deny their existence are “idiots,” Schapiro says.” They “cut you to the core” and aren’t easily forgotten.
Seems to me that’s why they’re great. I like them. They piss you off. They force you to decide who you are and

Put me down for “Lunatic”, I really don’t fit the “jerk” category. And guess what you crybullies: I can defend myself....
“...That’s what Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro told new students...”
The liberal conditioning farms are really working overtime at producing their little snowflakes....
..snowflakes galore
No same hiring manager will put someone with a Nirthwestern degree at the top of the interview pile.
My my….what’s their football team’s name, the Wimps? He sounds deranged and definitely has anger issues that probably disturbed most of his listeners. Another school to avoid for conservative families.
Northwestern is located in Evanston, not far north of Chicago. Maybe the President of Northwestern should sit down with the leadership of University of Chicago, and get their minds right. U of Chicago has told its incoming freshmen class exactly the opposite—not to expect safe spaces and the ability to hide from disconcerting viewpoints.
I have a senior in college... please tell me are there any good colleges for conservatives out there?
I have a blowtorch for the snowflakes if they confront my values. The leftist governments killed around 150 - 250 million of their own citizens in the last 100 years.
I think it is time to even the score and leftists are the ones lined in front of a ditch.

Morton then started sucking on his binkie because he thought he heard a racist dog whistle.
Northwestern University.
Good old Dildo U.
Seriously.
They had a course on using sex toys with a couple demonstrating the use.
The very idea of microagression is a chilling example of authoritarian absolutism. It says, “We will tolerate no hint, however slight, of opposition.”
It’s Mao, It’s Stalin, and yes, it’s Hitler.
This is teaching them to accept and or even want Book Burning 2.0. This ain’t good.
History is trying to repeat itself.
Time for some MACROaggression.
So I’m a deplorable lunatic! Who knew?
OMG! He just commIted a macro-aggression.
Ah, just thought of the word I was trying to think of. It’s a conceit, like Santa Claus.
