The vulnerable & damaged *are* worthy of a university education, even if they want to be safe. It's just they can't expect their desire for
safety to trump other people's desire for a robust educational experience, or that their desire for safety will always be accommodated.

@PhilosophyExp Agreed. Is “safety” the appropriate word though? -
@dippynicky Well, I think people want emotional "safety", which cannot, and should not be guaranteed, but should be reasonably accommodated.

@PhilosophyExp "safety trumping other peoples desire for education" seems to be the problem, so you don't disagree all that much w/ Dawkins -
@Gossenphilosoph Also disagreement about the idea of "worth". It might be that if you've been very damaged, you can't handle the university
