Perhaps not, but I learned, I grew and I did it all without mandated trigger warnings and safe spaces. Also, when I entered the real world I learned quickly that it was not the warm fuzzy world of college and that I was pretty much at the bottom of the pyramid and had to work hard for opportunities, at the same time tolerate people and situations that I disagreed with.

My concern is that the current environment is not going to prepare young people for the professional world, and am curious if this will just bring them into the "real world"

The "real world" is adaptable and any working person knows you don't show and at least do some semblance of work, you don't get paid. That is the real world. You can tolerate people and situations that you don't disagree with. Professional and non-professionals do it EVERY day.
