Critically, a trigger warning is specifically NOT "please don't mention rape in this law school". If you weren't going to mention it, you wouldn't have a warning, would you? Even if it's true that trigger warnings do not help people who go on to read the material, and even if it's true that reading the material is generally a good way to manage one's PTSD, I still think the students should be able to make their own informed decision about what they want to do. If they would rather avoid upsetting material, that's a decision they should be able to make. The only one they might be hurting is themselves.
