So we get more freedom by restricting pedagogical decisions of professors. How does that work again?

It's appropriate when a professor makes the "pedagogical decision" to limit free speech of others. Got it now?

How do trigger warnings limit free speech of others?

They create official acceptable and unacceptable povs by validating and coddling the "offended" - same for safe spaces but moreso

You don't think this is at minimum chilling to the speech of some by stating up front that their pov is offensive?

If professor is teaching both Mein Kampf & Diary of Anne Frank, is she allowed to say anti-Semitism is offensive?

It's a great point until one pov is likened to the nazis and the other to Anne Frank on topics such as affirmative action.

IOW, if your point has to be reduced to the absurd to defend it, you may be off base.

Okay, concrete example. If I taught R. Crumb (as I do), can I discuss why some images are offensive?pic.twitter.com/XrtBfD2lJ0

Certainly. A student who objects to seeing this without a trigger warning is not ready for college.

That's not the question. Question is should professor have the right to put trigger warning on syllabus if teaching this?
