I don't think the opinion piece is deceptive. I think the headline is misleading. The piece itself is still worth reading. Headlines are typically not written by authors. I commented on the title to save others the trouble of doing so.
- uberman 5y agoI don't follow. The title seems to capture the essence of the article. "I once opposed efforts to create a classroom climate in which students are protected from speech they find emotionally upsetting" "Now I think that ... we need to take the comfort of students far more seriously."
- crackercrews 5y ago> Instead, let’s elaborate and defend our own version of safe spaces. What he is calling for doesn't seem to be the same as what have typically been known as "safe spaces". His reference to taking the comfort of students more seriously seems to be related to their fear of being ostracized for their opinions. That's different from the normal concern for comfort in safe spaces, which focuses on being offended or triggered by others' speech.
- PaulHoule 5y agoI dunno, gay people are used to be ostracized for their "opinion" that other people of their gender are hot. With a little distance it is hard to tell the difference between young left-wingers from young right-wingers. Left-wingers seem resentful that the police have guns. Right-wingers seem resentful that Trump got kicked off twitter. Either way they are resentful.
