Who said universities were Leftist seminaries?
The Left outdo the Babylon Bee yet again.

The Left is so afraid of the truth... they hate the truth in any way, form or shape it's pathetic!

I don't think the republicans have much of an effect of british universities, sweet cheeks.

From the OP’s link:
“‘Too many of us – and nowhere is it more evident than our universities – have freely given up our rights to instead conform to a homogenised society governed by a liberal elite “protecting” us from ideas that they believe are too extreme for our sensibilities.’

“Orwell biographer David Taylor said: ‘I think 13-year-olds might find some scenes in the novel disturbing, but I don’t think anyone of undergraduate age is really shocked by a book any more.’”

Thirteen year olds are a far cry from college age mindsets. Good grief. These must be the same colleges that ensure parents that their 18–year-olds will have safe spaces to go if their classes become too overwhelming.

Give it up radical left sensitivity experts in the UK, the gig is up. Most students, including leftists, don’t like being told not to look. They will make sure to look, it’s human nature. Do supporters of sensitivity warnings consider human nature to be flawed? True. Do sensitivity trainers really think they can alter human behavior at large that denies access to information? Good luck with that! The good news is that these idiotic warnings will come back to bite them, and every attempt just like it domestically.

I’m so old I remember when schools trained you for adulthood in the real world.

Trigger warning?

WTF? Has America and its citizens devolved to just a level that they can't cope with things they don't agree with?

Great! Kudos to you for being able to look a definition! It is a pity you haven’t a clue on how to apply it.

Hilarious! You don’t even think that definition is racist!
Good Leftard!

Well they should, that is, if they want their ideology to survive.
