“Oberlin College recently considered a draft of its new rules about issuing ‘Trigger Warnings’ for college materials and for sensitivity generally.

“We know that over 40 veterans died after being neglected at a hospital in Phoenix — but this goes much deeper, and is a problem much wider, than that terrible statistic indicates.
