Twitchy was happy to give credit where credit was due when Emory University president James Wagner took up his sidewalk chalk and wrote “Emory stands for free expression” on the pavement. We’d still recommend that yellow caution tape stay up around the campus perimeter, though. This is the same president who, confronted by students “traumatized” by the sight of “Trump 2012” in chalk, assured them he’d have security footage of the campus reviewed.
Safe spaces? Be assured the culture of fear exists both on the campus quad and in the classrooms themselves. Welcome to Harvard, 2016.
Harvard in 2016 seems like a fun place. https://t.co/M9eyBUQJSC pic.twitter.com/YWA6zrOuyl

@ByronTau @DAaronovitch Appalling. How do these idiots think they will learn to defend their ideas and develop them through interaction?

@CJuliaSM @ByronTau @DAaronovitch Their ideas are so weak they're indefensible, so they can only survive in a sterile laboratory. #Harvard

@ByronTau @poppyme4 So much or college being a place for ideas and for growing intellectually.

@NormaConnors That is no longer the goal. Insane.
