Oberlin was the first college to start doing it and according to them teachers were asked to take any possible triggers out of their lectures unless they were absolutely necessary to the lecture. Look at the list of trigger warnings and think about how useless a lot of subjects would be without them.

So you're teaching a class on english lit which includes Huck Finn and half the class is offended by "Nigger Jim", now they don't have to do the work, and yet they are getting credit for the course? The point of college is to challenge and educate you. If you can't handle the subject matter you're learning for your major maybe you shouldn't be in that field of study.

Also what's with the dumbass swearword filters on here? Are people so soft they're too afraid to read the words "s h i t" and "f u c k" ? I mean, I came to this forum because there was a thread where the title distinctly said "is it gay to blow a transgender?", so I presume it's not a child-oriented forum
