I’m a senior in HS and I’m wondering if SUNY’s are involved in the movement.
I personally don’t care about many of the things SJW’s represent and I don’t like the culture that these SJW special snowflake colleges have.
Would SUNY’s trigger me?
There are 64 SUNYs and it entirely depends on what you mean.
What do you mean, “trigger” you?
Nobody forces anyone else to pursue social justice activities. If you don’t like them, don’t participate.
Most SUNY’s are not known for having very political students.
Lol this is funny
Purchase College is unbelievably SJW-concentrated. Their motto is “think wide open” but they are the most close-minded liberals I’ve ever met. Everything triggers them.
In a nice little piece of irony, someone reported the original post as “disrespectful”.
Is it not? The mocking use of “trigger” is clearly meant to be insulting.
@bodangles I agree, I very much dislike when people trivialize what triggers people by using it like OP did. No one is forcing anyone to participate in SJ work but most of the stuff that is represented by them is just people asking for respect. I’m not about to get into a debate with anyone but if you don’t like their culture, don’t participate in it. Same goes at any university. Stay away instead of mocking them.
There are a lot of people that think the whole issue of trigger warnings and microagressions have been carried to absurd lengths. I was told of a TV show episode where the students protested the staging of Romeo and Juliet because it involved teen suicide. OK, so it was a TV show but real incidents have seemed more absurd.
Anyway, I am sure this has been debated on specific threads elsewhere. This OP is certainly entitled to his opinion regarding the validity or lack thereof regarding trigger warnings and the current SJW movement. The fact remains that someone wanted to censor his opinion by having this taken down, which is by definition ironic, or at least demonstrative. Is the movement so fragile it cannot withstand dissenting opinion? We need to get away from always saying that people expressing an opinion we disagree with are using “hate speech” (which no one did here, to be clear) or are even being disrespectful. That’s reading a lot into a dissenting comment, which perhaps was just being colorfully put. Of course when one disagrees with the writer, it is very hard to read it that way.
