What do students actually MEAN BY SAFE SPACE?

What about the first amendment? Is it safe?
2 Name: Anonymous : 2015-11-13 12:17
No, the First Amendment is not safe. So go and get butthurt over that too.

It's a place they can go to safely mobilize their mob.

They mean a place where they won't hear opinions they disagree with and there is no scary 1st ammendment rights.

Disagreeing with a minority and/or a woman's opinion in 2015 IS a crime.
6 Name: Anonymous : 2015-11-13 13:09
Women ARE the minority, despite there being more of them than any other gender!

It's a place where no one will tell them to grow the fuck up.

Conservatives portray SAFETY as PC, and it doesn't prepare people for life's brutal realities, because the price of FREEDOM is hurt feelings, winners and losers, and most importantly good and bad guys with guns.

Conservatives believe in survival of the fittest, and you don't just get awards for trying in life.

There are no Hurt-Feeling-Free, Winner-Loser-Free, or Gun-Free Zones with conservatives, because they portray such things as social engineering to avoid conflict at the expense of FREEDOM.

All that AND they still manage to act like a bunch of dipshits.

Ive noticed that nobody answer the question.

Maybe everyone who replied was too busy being super hurt and vulnerable, as well as feeling their feelings to answer the question. Ironic because that's exactly what a Safe Space is for.

A Safe Space is a place where anyone can relax and be able to fully express, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, religious affiliation, age, or physical or mental ability.

A place where the rules guard each person’s self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others.

I like how the college safe space has coloring books and Play Doh for these big babies.
15 Name: Anonymous : 2015-11-13 14:10
The room was equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies

What

America, lol.

I didn't see diapers or pacifiers listed. This is a glaring oversight.

A SAFE SPACE for learning or anything would have to start with truly Gun-Free Zones in America, and that would require repealing the 2nd Amendment.

In the context of students airing grievances over perceived racism, a SAFE SPACE is where grievances can be aired without being portrayed as reverse racism.

Anytime black people have grievances (e.g. BlackLivesMatter) conservatives will portray it as reverse racism, and invite people to challenge it with free speech that reminds black people that they can also be racist.

Conservatives love to add insult to injury, and remind black people that it's about judging people by the content of their character, as if they wouldn't know that better than anyone, but conservatives want to lecture black people in something that black people know better than anyone, so that they can insult Martin Luther King and the whole history of black people fighting racism in America.

SAFE SPACE: No Whites, Niggers Only...

P.S. Whites can't have a whites only space, because that's racist.

It's a place where infantillized people over the age of 18 can go and not have to deal with the fact that there are other opinions in the world besides theirs.

Safe place means it is safe for them to be racists, which is their actual nature.

I'm so sick of this PC crap. If you don't feel safe stay at home and board up your windows.

If you feel others hate you because of your gender, sexual orientation or skin color guess what they probably DO HATE YOU, live with it or get an education (without whinning) and join the government and try to change things(without whining).

and join the government and try to change things

they still do this in memphis. bus kids from the blackest parts of town to schools in the less black part of towns. forced diversity. what a wonderful way to handle when two groups don't really want to mix.

freedom of speech for me but not for thee

liberal creed

I'm all for a reasonable compromise on this. Let's give these 21-year-old babies their very own designated private safe spaces, well-stocked with little warm blankees and teddy bears and whatever else they need, their very own man-made jumbo uterus where they can gather and wail and cry and scream and further reinforce the doctrine of perpetual victimhood.

Anywhere outside of those designated safe spaces, they STFU.

Instead of listening to stupid radio jock rants, how about listen to what the students are saying? They're getting friggin' death threats on campus from neo-nazis!!!

Safe Space is a place where bigots can congregate and engage in anti-white hate speech, while simultaneously accusing white people of racism, and prevent anyone from offering differing opinions/sharing experiences that don't fit the narrative.

The young Asian woman who shared a personal story of a black racist targeting her, and a caring white woman who came to her aid, proved this to be the case. He story went over very poorly with the liberal racists.

What does any of this have to do with the 1st Amendment?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Is someone expecting Congress to make a law to establish something or prohibit anything?
The 1st Amendment refers to the Federal government only.

Back when I was at university, 20 years ago, the only time I heard the term "safe space" was on a sticker with a rainbow on the office doors of a few liberal professors. I assumed it meant that the professor would be kind and helpful to LGBTQIA students who had questions about their sexuality, which is fine...

However, now kids want them every time they're offended... What a bunch of pansies...
