Michael Bloomberg: Why Safe Spaces Are Terrible Mistakes
Will people stop confusing what a safe space and a trigger warning is? Safe spaces are spaces like a student LGBT association&#x27;s own space and not a class room. If you think you should have the right to get up in someone&#x27;s face to &#x27;debate&#x27; their sexual orientation or gender identity in every venue then I can&#x27;t say I agree with you. Some places should be safe spaces where minorities (like LGBT) can be free to discuss matters among themselves for the same reason people need the same sort of space to discuss private matters with family&#x2F;friends. As for trigger warnings, the fact PTSD does exist means you do need to take that into consideration. I do agree they&#x27;re overused but beyond that point I think a trigger warning isn&#x27;t any worse than a buying a DVD with an MPAA rating. If additional information is too much for you maybe you ought not be in college because last time I checked that&#x27;s all you get is information overload (the paperwork alone to get into a college is mountainous even).
