Who has said they are offended?

A quiet room is wonderful in a workplace as a place to shut out the noise of a busy work environment. However, that is a far cry from having coloring books, bubbles and videos of puppies playing.

Before you attempt to mock me saying this "offends" me, let me tell you that it doesn't. I can think something is silly or ridiculous without being offended by it.

how awful. her dearly and closely held beliefs were challenged?

maybe a can of Play-Doh will help
I dunno, maybe a nappie time and a blanket would help?

Every day my opinion of higher education ratchets downward another notch. College degrees simply don't impress me like they used to.

The inescapable conclusion is these children will either need to have the government change their diapers for the rest of their lives or they will be eaten alive when confronted by the real world.

HOWEVER, one of the options is to avoid situation like that. The students don't have to attend the debate session if the session becomes too intense or too "triggering" for them.

One great way to make your life unnecessarily hard and difficult is to assume that the world revolves around you.

Ever wonder why counseling isn't the best choice to solve everything under the sun? Too many are quick to suggest it is.

They likely will not be able to leave their parent's home and might try to claim disability. There is an entire generation of delicate flowers and special snowflakes that are not prepared for life outside of their cocoon.

If someone can't handle college there is a real easy solution to that problem and a "safe space" isn't needed.

I know that many of that generation feed off frailty and oppression. The will NEVER feel "safe". They will NEVER be "cured" of whatever emotional malady has been inflicted upon them by others or by themselves. I'm sorry that universities and businesses cave to this but I think fear of lawsuits and wanted to appear FORWARD THINKING drives this stuff. Along with money. I'm 100% certain there is a trail of money leading from one place to another over VICTIMHOOD. I just with I could tap in and exploit it. These thing only happen upperclass ($) people are.

This particular incident was over one specific debate that was being held on campus, as an alternative (although just not going always worked in the past) and only for a few days. I don't think, I HOPE, it wasn't a permanent addition.

Don't forget the cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh for them to hide in.
