What a difference a decade or two makes, isn't it? I started my undergrad in the late nineties at a state university known primarily for liberal arts. The expectation as a liberal / progressive student was that you wrestled with hard, distasteful, nuanced topics.
Now, if you teach undergraduate students, you need to weigh whether or not it's worth fending off complaints for not issuing trigger warnings. I have friends who used to teach undergraduate classes, who now avoid doing so because of the aggressive fragility manifested by (some) students.
As an avowed progressive, I find this trend really distasteful.
