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.

70 years ago 18-19 year olds were worried about a different kind of “trigger.”

I wish someone would get one of those “resource phone numbers” so we could prank them. I would love to hear a recorded conversation of someone pretending to be a snowflake who has been triggered.

Do you remember “The Jerky Boys” from the early ‘90’s? They were master prankers.

Every time I hear about “triggering” I picture Andrew Dice Clay grabbing his crotch and yelling “I got yer trigger right here!”

Yup, they can riot and beat the crap out of Trump supporters leaving a Trump rally and then go ahead and find a safe space with a pacifier. Pathetic snowflakes.

The university is, of course, providing Safe Spaces for all students who are offended, cowed, or frightened by reality.
