Politically Correct Monasteries?
.
Academic freedom and conflicting ideas? Imagine that, young grasshoppers!
I am not sure how this story will resonate with Europeans. Maybe there are some similarities? Please, let us know.
The politically correct spank wankers rule American universities with the iron fist of martial law. Their latest weapons of mass suppression are "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces."
These cultural suppressions inoculate the coddled millennials emerging from America's sterile, bubble-wrapped suburbs from having to analyze or question controversial statements, ideas, written works or campus speakers.
The PC spank wankers have forced universities to cancel speaker after speaker over the last couple of years because they do not agree with the PC narratives making the rounds.
So much for freedom of speech.
If that is not enough, schools have created safe spaces for minorities such as LGBT, blacks and hispanics to retreat into their own special worlds.
These are secular monasteries without any of that bothersome prayer and meditation, and certainly none of the wafting beauty of Gregorian chant. But maybe just enough of that woman-hating, woman-demenaing, ghetto smack jabberwockey called rap to numb any disobedient neurons from frantically attempting to connect with an independent, rogue thought bouncing around somewhere.
Pssssssssst...something is happening…
The University of Chicago greeted incoming freshmen with a very surprising letter:
"Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so-called trigger warnings, we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics may 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.
Imagine that? Academic freedom replete with conflicting ideas. What are American universities coming to?
The spoiled gamer-boy eunuchs and cell phone nymphos will have to lay down their electronic gadgets and think themselves out of this puzzling conundrum. This could threaten the entire PC religion.
Quick! Time is running out! Once freedom starts marching, no one knows what might happen...

Not such a big deal over here. It's been discussed at some UK universities, but other than that I don't think it's a big problem.Strange to follow the discussion from the US though. Is really such a large portion of the population traumatized enough that they feel this is necessary?

Traumatized? LOL!!! They are hysterical! And they have a thousand PC spank wankers backing them up like pom-pom girls from the social media bleachers!
Let's hope the letter from The University of Chicago marks a turning point...

It's true- I would never take a college course now. College students are so wrapped up in political correctness that it has resulted in whiny college babies and the loss of free speech- it is scary, and no, it's not about being traumatized, it's about not growing up- if you have a different opinion, it will not be tolerated, like when we were six years old.
