good gawd. what happened to this country?

Support and counseling services for students, staff and faculty

We are deeply concerned about the impact some speakers may have on individuals’ sense of safety and belonging. No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe. For that reason, the following support services are being offered and encouraged:

•Student support services
•Employee (faculty and staff) support services

Unless they aren't a liberal, then they're fair game at Berkeley. Hypocrites.

Do you know how this evolved. Many boomers were beat as children by parents or other family members.....a brush, a belt or a switch. You name it. The nuns at school would walk around with a ruler in their hand ready to strike your knuckles if they deemed you did something wrong. And that could be anything. They didn't want to grow up like their parents so yes they over compensated when they had kids. They wanted their kids to be treated the opposite of what they went through.

Going from one extreme to the other extreme usually results in failure. I find that something more in the middle worked best.

Shapiro spews nonsense that anyone can debunk within minutes, so he's either grossly incompetent or plain dishonest

Despite this, I think counseling for his speech is absurd. The only thing that could help tolerate a Shaprio speech is a tall glass of Bourbon

Unless your counselors are serving Old Fashions, I'm not interested

Why are these students that upset over a speech that isn't mandatory? Wouldn't they be better served ignoring Shapiro's speech and maybe doing something they want instead?
