"Trigger Warnings" and Religious Students
This essay, at The Atlantic, is worth a read.
A challenge, for a Catholic university, it seems to me, is to encourage policies and pedagogical practices that do not uncritically mimic the AAUP's understanding of academic freedom or John Stuart Mill's idea of free speech, that are consistent with and conducive to civility, charity, respect, and humility, and that protect the expression of ideas, views, claims, and arguments that, while they might run counter to the orthodoxy of the moment are nevertheless in keeping with both the Truth that has been revealed and the Truth that we are called and made to pursue.
