"Memo to incoming freshmen at the University of Chicago: Grow up!

That is essentially the message from the university’s dean of students, whose welcome letter to students raced around the internet last week. In the politest of terms it put students on notice that their campus is short on intellectual “safe spaces” — that their professors will not be issuing trigger warnings to protect their fragile feelings and that the university is not in the habit of rescinding invitations to campus speakers, no matter how controversial.

It was a breath of fresh air amid a broader campus climate in this country that is choking with political correctness — where free expression is willingly sacrificed in an effort to cocoon sensitive students."
