Are other political signs accepted? Which campuses? I will bet that no political advertising is allowed. That stands true in some hoa neighborhoods, public properties.
I agree that in some instances we do coddle our yourh.
But then, circumstances are different for them than they were for us.

Does it cause you any harm or inconvenience to have those warnings? It is about empathy and making incremental adjustments to make the public sphere welcome (or at least less intimidating) to all.

Do you actually know why those signs were banned? Possibly because college campuses are places of learning, not political theatres.

@DogMan I get depressed when everything is interpreted in partisan, political terms. Most students are barely out of childhood. College should be one of the best and most enriching experiences of their lives. Leave the kids free to do what they want. They have 60+ years of this dreary nonsense to look forward to when they leave college.

@SunshineGirl College is supposed to be about continuing education so you can get a better job.
All that chaos was interfering with other people’s rights.
Alot of students working their way through college.
Do you not think that they were triggered when they couldn't focus on their finals?

@SunshineGirl What are you talking about Sunshine??? College kids get to do whatever they want.

Are you saying partisan political types should not use them for Protests and riots? and taking over
buildings on campus? Well, I guess we agree, because none of that stuff is being done by the right.
Campuses tend to discourage issues that will incite unrest which can lead to safety issues amongst the students and faculty. Its not the fragile, its the passionate and willing to fight against those who merely disagree with them that is the issue.

Also, The term “trigger” originally comes from PTSD research, especially related to war veterans and trauma survivors. A “trigger” referred to a stimulus (e.g., sound, image, word) that could provoke an intense emotional or physical reaction tied to past trauma. Has little to nothing to do with only loud bangs.

We are making our kids fragile. Anti-fragility makes kids into adults, not protecting them from every
little thing that upsets them.

We have protected kids so much that they are afraid of everything. They will never take risks in life.

Most of these fragile kids will need to be taken care of for life, because the world is too big and scary for
them to deal with.
how insane does One have to be .. that they feel so entitled, they get to go thru life without being offended by nothing...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Exactly! It is not our job to NOT offend, people can be offended by absolutely
anything, there is no way to know. I think the "Offended" need to toughen up.

Maybe they should start reciting "Sticks and Stones" in school again.
at that point, you might as well stay inside and just avoid going out in public altogether.

Seems you are triggered by trigger warnings enough to create a post about it.
