I said the exact same thing in a meeting about some of the shenanigans going on on campuses around the nation right now. All this bull#### about creating safe spaces where people can explore their feelings, including racist and intolerant speech, is insane. Call a spade-a-spade and deal with it. We are where we are because no one is willing to stand up to the bullies and say enough is enough. If the mass media did their job and stood up to Trump's behavior we likely wouldn't have a bully-in-chief being sworn in on January 20th. Trump's negative behaviors were enabled, and because of that similar negative behaviors are rearing their ugly heads all across the country. Enough is enough. No more kid gloves.
