First Lady Michelle Obama is the commencement speaker at Oberlin College tomorrow and in advance of the speech, she posted this picture commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s commencement address at the school:
We’ll tune in, but we’re a little terrified that Mrs. Obama might say something that makes students feel unsafe. Not that she will, mind you, but just in case. Isn’t it Oberlin’s policy to provide a “safe room” to its students, you know, like they did for conservative Christina Hoff Sommers?
300+ students attended my Oberlin talk.Others retreated to nearby "safe room" for protection from my apparently dangerous ideas.

Oberlin activists had "safe space" for those triggered by my talk.Oberlin admin. provided police security to protect me from safe spacers.

And therapy dogs. Will there be therapy dogs on hand?
This article refers to therapy dog I triggered at Oberlin. http://t.co/8PyE0rdRTr

Or do only conservative women elicit this response?
(We already know the answer to that, of course.)
