Point; Counterpoint

A week ago I put up a post lauding the University of Chicago for taking a stand for freedom of speech and against "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" for snowflakes on campus. As we know from physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Witness Northwestern University, also in the Chicago area.

Northwestern President Morton Schapiro called critics of snowflake protective measures "lunatics" and said:

"... microaggressions, or 'commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults,' are a serious threat to the mental well-being of Northwestern students. Microaggressions “cut you to the core” and aren’t easily forgotten..."

President Schapiro also announced a new program that the university will be tucking its students into bed every night and reading them bedtime stories in a move to reduce the anxiety level on campus.
