Whoops: People are going to have to prepare themselves to hear things they don’t like. But can they handle diverse opinions? Remember the freedom of speech thing? Three cheers for the courage of UofChicago.

Incoming first-years received a letter from the College today making
clear that the University of Chicago does not condone safe spaces or
trigger warnings.
“Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support
so-called ‘trigger warnings,’ we do not cancel invited speakers
because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone
the creation of intellectual ‘safe spaces’ where individuals can
retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own,” reads the
letter from Dean of Students Jay Ellison.
