Has anyone read, "I Find That Offensive" by Claire Fox? Wow. I've been very uneasy about the "trigger warning" trend ever since my D, who attends an Ivy, told me that some students said they found reading Lolita to be "traumatic". They said they should have been "forewarned". How will these students function after university?
More worrying, my D. said that she recently was lectured in a seminar by another student who said they "found it offensive that she was offended about having to use a trigger warning if she wanted to post a joke on the school's chat page". I guess Stand Up Comics no longer perform at universities.
