Students for the Second Amendment is sponsoring an appearance by Townhall editor and “Assault and Flattery” author Katie Pavlich tonight at the University of Delaware. The scheduled topic is the Second Amendment and its importance in today’s society.
This being an American university, protests are already being planned, and Palivch noted that, yes, university students have been warned that her speech could be “a triggering experience.”
Because what would a talk at a university be without a trigger warning? pic.twitter.com/9jBvnBhJQ9

The Twitter account @BlackAtUD is making sure that protesters are equipped with signs and dressed in the proper attire .
An RSO is bringing a speaker who thinks BLM is a "terrorist" org. Come to Mitchell on Mon at 7 to show them that UD doesn't stand for racism

This protest is not one of hate or a "fight". We are respectfully protesting oppressive beliefs & actions on our campus #TheRealUDel

… before hearing them, of course.
For all those coming to protest, please practice self care because this may be a triggering experience. #TheRealUDel

No word if a designated “safe space” will be provided on campus.
Protest presents the opportunity for dialogue & conversation among people with differing ideologies. Join us in protest tonight #TheRealUDel

Nothing shows an interest in differing ideologies than coordinating outfits and carrying pre-printed protest signs. Any advice for Pavlich as she prepares to exchange ideas with protesters?
@KatiePavlich hope you'll be supplying pacifiers & blankies for them

@KatiePavlich Because they can't have their precious feelings hurt while hurling vile insults at someone.
