In some progressive universities, professors provide “trigger warnings” to students before discussing sensitive topics, emotionally charged issues, or events that may trigger post-traumatic stress. “Safe spaces” are places where students can gather to avoid a speaker or event that offends them.

Teachers should provide content warnings for presentations much like we already see in film and music, and we should not allow anyone to feel like they're in danger by simply being on campus
@8X3KKZD3yrs3Y
Yes, because mental health on campuses is already strained and underfunded. Allowing people warning for sensitive material is empathetic.
@JadedCynical5yrs5Y
That should ultimately be a decision made by the universities.
@92DY93W3yrs3Y
Universities should decide if they want to do this or not
@682JX4V3yrs3Y
I do not care either way
@8M98FV94yrs4Y
Yes, but focus on improving mental health services and student's financial stability.
@8RM3NHC4yrs4Y
yes, this will be helpful for students who have experienced trauma and need a place for them to be able to feel safe and calm
@8STJ2TC4yrs4Y
Yes, or even better, make those things unnecessary by punishing hurtful or discriminatory people.
@8Z7PTXF3yrs3Y
Regardless, this is up to the professor to tailor their lecture with sensitivity to their students
@92PTBNR3yrs3Y
Yes, provide both so they have the option and possibly even allow themselves to challenge theemselves.
