David Thompson's blog often covers this trend in the U.S. Academy: tender flowers who feel "triggered" by anything that might "harm" their tender feelings.
Interesting that the issue has now reached the New York Times. After all it's been a matter of faith on the left that it's "triggered" students who should be supported, not the "classical ideal of the worldly philosopher".
Well done David Brooks.
