Should colleges provide ‘safe spaces’?

Posted: 12 Mar 2016 05:00 AM PST

The notion of a campus "safe space," which has seen much ink and ridicule, is nothing new, says Louie Dean Valencia-García. The teaching fellow at Fordham University in New York has studied student protest movements from those in Franco's fascist Spain to "Occupy Wall Street." The term "safe spaces" was first used by gay men facing ridicule and violence in the 1960s, as well as by young feminists being derided in classrooms. "It was a response to hate, and trying to find a place that was safer than those they were experiencing on campuses," Mr. Valencia-García says.
