Quote:At the same time, I'm not sure their very existence would deter me from attending a university I otherwise favored. I'd like to think I'd want to find out first hand why anyone would want one, their personal experiences, etc. I'm not knocking FBT's daughter, I applaud her for putting thoughts on this into her decision.

It wouldn't deter me at all. If you're smart, you aren't going to University for the social justice scene, and nobody in your Engineering program is going to give a crap about that mess and when you graduate and go into your great engineering job, you won't even think about it, all the while the protesters skipping class and living inside of their safe spaces instead of cramming for the differential equations exam are going to be living in mommy and daddy's basement complaining about capitalism. 

 

Don't forget what you go to school for would be my advice to anybody.

 

P.S. Safe Spaces are still an absurd idea. I like absurd ideas on college campuses because that is the place for such experimentation of ideas, but if the safe spaces begin to infringe on the public's right to speak, that's stifling  the free flow of debate and ideas, so I am intolerant of their intolerance.
