2) Complete your blog post for Tuesday
- You have 2 articles to read: Here is one and here is the second
- Here are the questions for you to answer:
- Do you think the University of Chicago made the right decision in getting rid of trigger warnings?
- Do you think college campuses should use trigger warnings for potentially traumatic or disturbing material? Should they be required? Should they be banned? Why or why not?
- Should speakers be banned from a school if they are radically opposed to the mindset and perspective of most of the people on campus? Is this a form of free speech or censorship? Why?
- Write your own level 3 question and answer it.
