They are treating donors poorly. Not a good thing. Those who have left their entire estate to the school are treated as racists, their names and their coat of arms deleted. Of course, their donations are not returned. So they get a pass. Many potential donors, those who were about to donate a building perhaps, they saw what Harvard is doing to previous donors. Theyre out of there.
There's a building in Harvard Yard — Matthews Hall, a dorm — that is decorated with dozens of crucifixes, inlaid into the 146-year-old bricks.
Every time I'm there, I wonder how long those religious symbols will be allowed to remain.

Anyone who needs a trigger warning for anything ought to be beaten on principle. Someone needs to toughen these people up somehow and a relentless pummeling is as good an idea as any.

Talking about these hot-button subjects in terms of “trigger warnings” certainly is a suggestive act. One might be able to get past hot buttons, but trigger sounds like something built in, as to a gun.

That doesn’t excuse filth on your part, though. God is maddeningly fair.

"The pair argued that some campus practicespresumably intended to protect students from being harmed by words and ideas deemed offensive or distressingseemed to be interfering with students' ability to get along with each other.
Wow. A couple of academics recognize that "snowflakes" are for real. Millenials are the worse generation our country has produced, even worse than idiot boomer hippies. Adulthood and life reality is a foreign concept to these gimme-dats and crybabies. Hey, Millies, here's a "trigger" for you, you're beyond stupid and wasting your parents money in brain-washing universities.
Got problem? - go to safe place and suck your thumb. If not enough, there is always the fetal position with your blankey.

Some people are triggered at trigger warnings. What shall we do about those unfortunates? Provide them with trigger-warning warnings?

Somehow, I don’t think a reasoned discourse is going to evolve from this line of discussion.

I should care why? Screw those 20 somethings going on 8 years old.

To say fostering hypersensitive dispositions is bad for relationships?
Kudos to the obvious study, but this underscores the Left’s God complex and it’s commitment to the reinvention of humankind.
In this case, it’s “debugging” the reinvention agenda.

‘so what IS a trigger warning?’
It used to be called “paranoia” before the idiot left mainstreamed it into a political uproar device. Not unlike Muslims being “triggered” by intense brainwashing to freak out if a scribble looks like their god Mo. It’s cult behavior.

"ok, so what IS a trigger warning?
It is anything the sociology Ph.D's, Professors, Teachers say it is. Sociology is not science, it is whatever a particular instructor says it is. I took sociology 101&103 and knew it was mostly subjective theory even back then. Even psychology is not an exact science like geology and such.
"Trigger Warning"? Some expert alerting the babies to grab their blankys or teddys for a coming Trigger.

Not sure I get your point during this exchange. Or maybe we're on similar ground and just not articulating that well.
