Trigger warnings

I watched a program about people that write the trigger warnings. They say it is compassionate.

But is it really? Sure, a war veteran with PTSD might not like loud bangs, but do we
need to protect every young person, from everything? Are we protecting them from
minor things that just upset them? I know that MAGA signs are not allowed on
many campuses because it upsets the weak and timid.

I have read that exposing people to the things that bother them, helps them to get post
those things.

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.
