Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.
This well-known saying used to be taught to young children to help them better cope with bullying. I remember learning this phrase myself not too long ago. But most kids nowadays have never heard this. In fact they are frequently taught the opposite. Many kids are now told words are “literal violence.”
Being subjected to ideas that are contrary to their own beliefs is now considered significantly harmful. Relying on your intuition and using a male pronoun to refer to an obvious man is even referred to as “genocide." It has become commonplace to see students on college campuses objecting to ideas they disagree with and labeling universally held beliefs as “dangerous.” Many go so far as to advocate that any diversity of thought counter to progressive ideology should not be permitted or platformed in any real way. These unsavory and unspeakable ideas instead should be relegated to the privacy of our own homes at best.
Campuses have begun posting warning signs so students will be aware that they might encounter others who have different beliefs. Even just a few years ago this would have been unconscionable. Colleges are supposed to be places where ideas are exchanged, but increasingly they have become brainwashing institutions where students are only taught one way of thinking. Being confronted with anyone who thinks differently poses a hostile threat. Just being in the presence of someone wearing a ‘make America great again’ hat can trigger a nervous breakdown. Cry rooms are set up where students can retreat to handle their emotions after seeing someone who has an alternative perspective.
Let’s think about this for a second: students are increasingly believing that the very existence of others who think differently causes them violence.

Support MAGA and President Trump!
( Words inherently violent and now censored! Buahahahahahahahahahahaha!)
BOTTOM LINE:
Speech is not violence
“Speech is not violence”
And silence is not violence, either, despite the propaganda to the contrary.
My favorite is “Silence is violence”.
My favorite is “Silence is violence”.
Silence may be consent
We need to teach out kids to scream and protest anything leftists propose. They need to find other brave souls to stand with them. They should start suing colleges for creating hostile spaces and allowing violence and threats of violence on campus.
Maybe start scholarship funds or part time training jobs for conservative campus rabble rousers like the leftists do. 2-3% percent of vocal conservative kids could make a difference.
