| Summary: |
Long hailed as bastions of intellectual freedom where ideas and opinions are openly exchanged, universities have recently come under attack by those who claim that a new generation of students and administrators are restricting speech in the name of inclusion and political correctness. At the heart of this debate is the question of "safe spaces"-places where students can be free of racist, sexist, or other derogatory speech. Such places, some argue, provide a refuge from bigotry and oppression by allowing students the opportunity to express themselves in an empathetic and civil environment. But others argue that, however well-intended, safe spaces threaten free speech and undermine the resilience of people who will face controversial issues in the larger world. Are safe spaces a legitimate and necessary component of modern education, or are they a misguided concept that coddles young minds? Are safe spaces dangerous? |
