Caskie Stinnett

Cass Sunstein

There are justifiable case-by-case situations wherein an educator might exhibit targeted sensitivity to a student's unique circumstances. This is humane and laudable. In most instances though, trigger warnings are not a manifestation of justified empathy but are symptomatic of an ailing culture.
Unfortunately, there is a tendency among political elites to distrust the opinions of ordinary people.
