University Hosting Presidential Debate Places ‘Trigger Warning’ Sign in Student Center

BY: Jack Heretik September 26, 2016 5:12 pm

Hofstra University is hosting the first 2016 presidential debate on Monday night and has a sign up for another event on campus meant to give students a “Trigger Warning” about potentially sensitive material they may encounter.

The sign inside the student center at Hofstra was noticed by CBS New York reporter Tony Aiello.

The sign reads: “Trigger Warning: The event conducted just beyond this sign may contain triggering and/or sensitive material. Sexual violence, sexual assault, and abuse are some topics mentioned within this event. If you feel triggered, please know there are resources to support you.” The sign then lists offices and phone numbers students may contact.

It is also a matter of managing expectations, setting people up emotionally.
If you go around warning people “their views are offensive because they are haters”, you are demonizing the speakers while appearing to be considerate to the people you are warning away.

Really. It is so unbelievable that they are coddling these little darlings instead of preparing them for a rough and tumble world that exists beyond the ivory halls of higher education establishments.

If you go around warning people ..

Classic passive/aggressive psychopathy.

Awwwwwww, POOR DEARS! I wonder if we could muster enough of these little 18 and 19 year-old “sweeties” to leave their “safe space” in a vomit filled Higgins Boat on D-Day to storm a bullet infested beach in Normandy?

Dare I suggest that 8 weeks on Parris Island hunting sand fleas would give these little assholes a deeper appreciation for what the REAL WORLD may look like when the shit hits the fan down the road because their leftist hero or heroine du jour (obozo/clinton) have emboldened an enemy by weakening US!

According to the article, it’s for another event on campus:

“Hofstra University is hosting the first 2016 presidential debate on Monday night and has a sign up for another event on campus meant to give students a “Trigger Warning” about potentially sensitive material they may encounter.”
