The university rejected this proposal because it violates academic freedom and freedom of inquiry, according to an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.“Faculty must also be free to provide trigger warnings if they so choose, but it must be a decision left up to the faculty member...

There's hope. MIT started the snowball rolling down the hill... now Cornell. Really, there is hope.

<< The trigger warnings would inform students that content in the course could include reference to “sexual assault, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, child abuse, racial hate crimes, transphobic violence, homophobic harassment [and] xenophobia,” >>

They’re a real sensitive bunch, eh? Yeah, BS they are. They’d be running the secret police and death camps in a millisecond if they had their druthers.

If you need a trigger warning, for anything, you’re not old enough to leave home without an adult.

Listen, it’s the call of woke students everywhere:

“Don’t teach us, we want to stay stupid!”

So what is an example of the traumatic content that these snowflakes need a warning for...probably the definition of a woman. 🤣

If you need a trigger warning, don’t even get out of bed in the morning!

Yeah, I’d agree with you. Stay home, pull the curtains, limit your TV access to only safe channels, and don’t let strangers into the house.

If the college cooperated....you’d get a degree but find that you get fired from your first job because you insisted on ‘safe’ conditions there as well.
