'Safe spaces all the way down’: 'American Sniper' will be shown at Univ. of Michigan, but with these safeguards

The University of Michigan had canceled plans to screen the movie “American Sniper” because it might make students feel “unsafe.”

The university has reconsidered, with some caveats:

We're planning to show American Sniper in a separate forum that provides an appropriate space for dialogue & reflection. More info to come.

Will a rapid response team of psychologists will be available for anybody who needs trauma counseling during or following the screening?

.@UMInvolvement Funny. I thought college was a forum for dialogue and reflection.

@uminvolvement Unfortunate. As a place of "higher" learning, this was a real fumble. Why ask them to protect, yet shun their stories?

@UMInvolvement How about you tell your students to put on their big boy/big girl pants on and prep for the real world.
