[quote=Anonymous]As another professor, who, by the way, applauds the U of C's position on trigger warnings, I would hate to have students dictate to me what I include on my syllabus. Since I teach a class on war, I would hope that students understand enough about war to know that there will be disturbing material. On principle I would refuse to include a statement on my syllabus stating, essentially, that war is disturbing. Dear God. As for the PP who would be offended if a student used the "n-word," I hope you realize that a trigger warning wouldn't prevent another classmate from using that word in an inappropriate manner. A professor should certainly step in and stop the discussion at that point simply on the grounds that such language violates the rules of civil discourse. [/quote]
