> I understand what you're getting at, but some people really do have PTSD, and some speeches really do contain things like graphic recountings of abuse. Should those people just not attend university? (I'm actually undecided.) Contrary to the collective opinion of certain Internet communities, I think it quite likely that reports of PTSD in the average person have been greatly exaggerated. It's great to provide support in the rare case that a person really does have an unmanageable reaction to certain memories. But mitigating this edge case by making that support a default condition in every interaction on a campus stymies the free thinking and free expression that are supposed to flourish in a liberal learned environment.
