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?

Anyways, trigger warnings aren't for material that is offensive but material that might be traumatizing.

"might" be traumatizing? Who decides what "might be" ? How about they grow up? Life maybe traumatizing.

Professors decide when they draw up syllabi. That's a part of academic freedom. How hard is this to understand?

and it is these professors who turned the young generation into a bunch of soft, unprepared whiners. Time to grow up.

In my experience, young people are smarter than oldsters.

this is not about being smart. It is about being prepared for life. About sharing ideas, even those u may not agree with.
