Obama’s Secretary Of Education Calls For ‘Safe Spaces’ On ALL College Campuses

To my leftist friends on this board, this is what we speak of when we say Obama and his administration are promoting racial division. With policies like the one below, it is automatically assumed that minorities are victims and the code word for anything but white is called diversity.

Can anyone in their right mind actually believe that young adults require safe spaces where they can escape the hostility of the world due to a lack of diversity? Who's allowed in these safe spaces and who isn't? If an anti Trump student went into a safe space would I be allowed in? Heck, if anything, it's Trump supporters and conservatives in general who really need the protection of a safe space, but I don't recall any one of us asking for one.

 

In what fantasy world can a person (I use that term loosely with these snowflakes) expect to not have their feelings hurt?

To even accept the premise of this "safe space diversity" gives merit to a 100% BS claim.

I'll attribute this to the last gasping breaths of a radical left administration who's policies have been rejected by the American people and sent packing Jan 20.

 

I will be so happy when grown ups take over the federal government again in a mere two months. Sigh!

 

I agree and to prove your theory correct just put on a Trump hat and walk through just about any major university especially some of the more intolerant ones such as DePaul or Cal and watch what happens. All the people crying for safe spaces will all the sudden show their true colors and go on the attack.

 

Yes. How is it that the people who feel the need to physically attack Trump supporters are the ones who also need safe spaces filled with coloring books and play doh? Quite bizarre...

 

Our government has become an incredible embarrassment in just 8 years.

 

For all those wondering how Trump won the election, well, here ya go......

Pussification of America at it's finest.

 

Is that a TNP reference?

 

If you need a safe space, stay home.

 

I agree this stance is only promoting divisions,
and somehow would prosper racism within the campuses.
Free speech should be limited when it is already used as a tool to offend,
I rather say that unhealthy deed should not be tolerated and there should be expulsions or other disciplinary actions intended for such.

 

I've used up my PF laughy quoted limit,

I should have invested in Hasbro stock on Nov, 8th, the manufacture of Play Dough, the #1 therapy used by snowflakes dealing with that Donald Trump is now America's President-elect.

On November 9th while the N.Y.S.E. skyrocketed after Trump won the election, the gun manufactures stocks plummeted (S&W, Colt, Ruger, Remington, Winchester, Bushmaster, AramaLite, etc. etc.) while Hasbro increased in value.

 

You're not thinking about this logically. Safe spaces would make it easier to shoot students as they gather in groups - Its been a while since the last school shooting so perhaps this is all part of a larger master plan.

 

I think we all agree the physical safety on campuses is important and should be under that a safe space, but the exchange of free ideas regardless if offensive is not something students should be safe from. Now if a given student was sexually assaulted I can understand they might need some consideration for certain class units as an example but not everyone, it should be based on a clear issue a soldier veteran who suffers PTSD would be one I know of where a movie about WW2 might hurt him so he was allowed to skip it for the grade. That is fine. But some feminist offended by some conservative student who disagrees with her is not supposed to be a safe thing to avoid but challenge and debate.

 

These hate filled progressives are a collection of wannabe oppressive tyrants. With the right power, they are deadly dangerous.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, PAYBACK IS A (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) EDITION: Right-Wing Inquisitors on Campus.

Conservatives have understandably felt for decades that the higher education establishment is indifferent or hostile to their interests. The number of right-of-center faculty has dwindled to the point of disappearance; Republican speakers are regularly shouted down; campus speech codes and harassment policies seem designed to disfavor conservative points of view. Now that the cultural wind is at their backs as never before, some on the Right may be tempted to be vindictive, and to do to college liberals what college liberals have done to them. Ben Carson, currently being considered for a Trump Administration cabinet position, suggested during the primaries that the government should police colleges for liberal bias.

Needless to say, such efforts would be deeply destructive. If Orwellian left-wing speech codes are wrong, then McCarthyist speech codes are wrong as well. If the principle of academic freedom requires the protection of conservative scholarship, it requires the protection of liberal scholarship, too. The aim of genuine defenders of the liberal tradition must be to promote tolerance and open-mindedness, not to replace left-wing academic hegemony with a right-wing version.

The PC dictatorship on campus are the educrats — “diversity and inclusion” offices, “student life” deans, etc. They’re much bigger offenders than faculty.

 

Aw Geeesus! "Safe spaces" where 18+ yr old students run to so if their feelings are hurt they can cry a river and they're going to be our future leaders?

Had a tho't while reading this.....these liberal educators won't do one damn thing about the bullying in elementary, middle and HS where the kids really do need support. Never ending bullying that gets so downrite vicious, there have been victims of it that commit suicide....but when the kids reach 18+ and in college, they need 'safe spaces' from the meanies.....as usual, the libs don't make any sense.

 

Yeah, it sure is. Some colleges even brought in therapy dogs for the butt hurt students to cuddle w/and get all wet w/their tears.......

 

I have no idea what a safe space is. Could anyone explain what one is or how I have managed to survive my entire life without one ?

 

You have to constantly consider yourself a victim first and foremost. Also a minority. Race other than white is best, but if you are white, claiming you are gay or the opposite sex will sometimes work in a pinch. Anything to be with the "in" crowd. Of course sometimes you can be attacked just for being white. If you are attacked its important that you apologize to your racist non white attackers and apologize for being white immediately and repeatedly. That way they can take away any aspect of your personal pride in your heritage.

 

That will be gone in a month. The Sec of Ed should just chill...

 

Emotionally stunted cry bullies being affirmed by one of the highest officials in the land.

Insanity.

 

I still have no idea what a safe space is. I have heard rumors that kittens and hot chocolate are involved. Does beer and a overwieght lap cat count? if so my man cave may qualify as a safe space

 

This is why they lost. They are so out of touch with reality as not to be believed. They think that safe spaces and transgender bathrooms are the main issues that people want to talk about. How about something that involves all of us like the economy and national security? Ever heard of them?

 

I'd like to have a safe space from violent minorities.

I'd like that safe space to be nation wide.

I'd like for there to be training designed to teach minorities how not to become hoodlums.

I'd like that training to be a part of the curriculum beginning in primary school and continuing through post-secondary school.

 

What a bunch of babies. This won't help these kids get ready for the real world.

 

Assuming you're genuinely curious about what one is, it's a place where an individual or group can talk about a particular subject that directly affects them. The idea is to allow people to talk about something without facing judgment about it. In the extreme, only members of that group are allowed in the safe space in order to make that happen. For instance, an LGBT safe space is one where members of the LGBT community can talk without facing anti-LGBT criticism. Although that's a recent example, safe spaces have actually been around for a very long time, just without that term being applied to them specifically. Other examples of safe spaces include:
Church
Alcoholics Anonymous
Klan meetings
Group therapy sessions
D&D gaming groups

I honestly have no idea why safe spaces have suddenly become controversial. You can find official info about them here:
