Coping with the Trauma of Free Speech
Yeah, it’s real. Colorado State University offers 17 separate campus resources for students who “can’t even” and are “literally shaking” ( a “Victim’s Assistance Hotline”) because someone expressed an opinion they disagree with.. They didn’t even have to hear the “offensive” opinion to be traumatized by it. Just knowing that someone, somewhere on campus may have expressed an “offensive” opinion is enough. And even if the opinion wasn’t directed at you, you can be offended on behalf of “someone you know” who should have been offended by it.
Seventeen separate campus resources to deal with the hurt feelings of snowflakes. And they wonder why higher education costs so much.

Pitiful.
Whatever happened to “Sticks and stones…?” First graders used to have more guts than that.
I have some friends whose son is a student there. Fortunately, he’s not easily offended, and besides, he’s a white male, so he can’t possibly be a victim. I must remember to ask his parents what they think about their son’s college costs (and all the other students too) being inflated by this enormous subsidy to the Left. The parents vote Dem but their views are really more center-right. They’ve just bought into the demonization of the right.
Your tax dollars at work.
At some point I think we need to admit we have enough college grads and just shut the whole thing down.
Bloody hades.
Love to know how much the Vice President of Inclusive Excellence is making.
This is why parody is impossible.
“They” is undoubtedly a “Doctor,” however.
They have all just doxxed themselves. Might be time for a few phone calls.
Who was the super scary conservative?
Nice to know these schools are turning out kids who are offended by everything and think they can run to a safe space at every turn. When do they have time to focus on their studies when they’re taught to be so paranoid?
Not any more.
That salary should be a public record.
Creating trauma in kids creates a lot of jobs for a bunch of worthless administrators. It’s one hell of a growth industry.
‘They is’ in more ways than one.
Check her out on LinkedIn. Long career in the diversity industry.
Worked for the Spartans.
Speaking of Spartans, here in Michigan the salaries of salaried employees of public universities are a matter of public record. They even used to be on-line (and probably still are) though the on-line records tended to be a few years out of date. My own salary was there, though I’ve been retired long enough that those old data have probably decomposed by now.
Every politician should have the same requirements as you.
