SteelerNation/God & Government. Not a Safe Space.You know what I see man......? Scripted, canned responses. I knew when I came to the God/Government forum that I would see a racially toned topic and with that I also knew the collective mindset would be just as what you've hinted at.......
I don't know what they are actually protesting?
Where did today’s college kids (or at least the ones at Amherst, Yale, Missouri, and Claremont McKenna), ever get the idea that college should be a “safe space”—free from judgments they don’t like or opinions that make them uncomfortable?
“Children are hardwired to play. That’s how we learn. But what happens when play is micro-managed? St. Lawrence University professor Steven Horwitz argues that it undermines democracy.
“Free play — tag in the schoolyard, pickup basketball at the park, etc. — is a very complicated thing. It requires young people to negotiate rules among themselves, without the benefit of some third-party authority figure. These skills are hugely important in life. When parents or teachers short-circuit that process by constantly intervening to stop bullying or just to make sure that everyone plays nice, Horwitz argues, ‘we are taking away a key piece of what makes it possible for free people to be peaceful, cooperative people by devising bottom-up solutions to a variety of conflicts.’
“The rise in ‘helicopter parenting’ and the epidemic of ‘everyone gets a trophy’ education are another facet of the same problem. We’re raising millions of kids to be smart and kind, but also fragile.”

Kids have an amazing ability to self govern and more sense than we credit them with anymore
