I have a few classes that are almost entirely student-directed projects (for which I direct them through their work/methodology/concept/research) - if one of them wants to focus on abortion as opposed to something more vanilla, then they can damn well do that. So what does the trigger warning read: "There might be some things addressed here that are upsetting to some of you?" That's life. That's college. That's what you signed up for. I'm willing to mediate any inappropriate provocations or conduct, but this is just silly.

There is no way I would sit in your class or anybody else's and be called the N-word. I wouldn't tolerate it. It's not up for discussion. It's not what I signed up for. It's not what I pay for. There is no mediation nor am I leaving the room.

And as far as your opinion that "they can damn well do that", I don't think so, not to my face for the gratification of someone's definition of free speech. I don’t need a safe space, and I'm not putting up with nonsense either.

Critical thinking and reading not your strong suit? Skip that in college, did you?

Where did you get that from this person's post?

I'm giving an example based on the professor's comment 'that's life, that's college, that's what you signed up for.' There will always be those who will test the new found freedoms of free speech as indicated by UChicago. And that's fine. It is one thing to have intelligent heated political discussion. It's another thing to exercise vulgarity under the guise of free speech discussion.

Your reasonable question is indicative how people view experiences through different lenses and what they would deem reasonable for others but unreasonable for themselves. I appreciate your question.
