If someone denies the holocaust and promotes slavery, don't they have the right to express their views? It's a very slippery slope when you let someone (you? me?) decide what speech is too dangerous to hear. Shouting fire in a crowded theater is dangerous, but letting some whacko spout about why slavery is good is entirely different.

The point of contention is not whether "safe spaces" should exist - they exist in spades already, and the University supports them. The debate is what form they should take.
