University To Freshmen: Don't Expect Safe Spaces Or Trigger Warnings -- "We do not support so-called 'trigger warnings,' we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual 'safe spaces.'"

Well to be honest safe space become something different years after it was a thing. Media heard about it and stupid redditors misunderstood it so they freaked out. Both redditors who have never gone to college and those who have and misunderstood safe space.

He is an example. My freshman year of college 6 years ago I took race in the US. Our teacher started the course out by saying this is a safe environment for learning. She insisted people ask questions. Even if they thought it was racist. Because you won't learn how it is racist unless you ask. The safe space was meant to be a classroom setting where you can ask silly questions without repercussions from societal factors. Meaning you could ask why is it racist to say all Asians are good at math without employers finding out. This was years before safe space was talked about in the media.

Now it is at a point where people don't get it. Even college students will shut someone up for having a legitimate question. Just because it was offensive. But that student won't learn why it's offensive until it is explained. Just shutting them up and crying safe space is not what a safe space is for. Honestly I find it sad and pathetic our society is so doomed at this point that once Reddit sinks it's teeth in it will never be understood. Meaning in 2010 safe space meant something completely different. But now because of Reddit and people who never took a class offering a safe space the world doesn't understand it. This comment above me got gold for something the commenter barely understands. Which is not surprising since Reddit doesn't even understand it. It's like they were introduced to the concept, hated it, but now all resort to their safe spaces on Reddit. It's pathetic. I miss the early college days were you had freedom of speech in the classroom. Now it's nothing like that. Safe space was to give you the floor to ask things you can't just flat out ask black people. Or things you can't even ask without being punched in the mouth. This is what a safe space was meant for.

TLDR. No one understands safe space and you all misunderstand it. It was never started for why you people assume it was started. But once Reddit sinks it's teeth in it's hard to discredit the false narrative created. Which once the false narrative came we saw a shift in how universities viewed safe space.
