@HydeSnark - what about the Harvard Law prof. who, in 2014, was asked not to use the word “violate” (as in “what policy does this decision violate” or some such) because it was triggering someone’s trauma? Part of the problem a few years ago was that this was rapidly descending into nonsense. It’s possible you are noticing the “wake” of the issue - as in the faculty got “woke” and started the pushback a few years ago. Oberlin, for instance, reversed its college-wide “recommendation” to all faculty to include trigger warnings back in 2014 - the problem had been accelerating prior to that year. The UChicago faculty made its report in 2015(?) and the university responded in 2016 - and other schools started following suit in the months afterward. Those who started college around that time might be thinking “no big deal” simply because they are on the back-side of the issue during their college years.
