Can you enlighten us with the number and percentage of public and private elementary, middle, high schools, colleges and universities that are currently using these trigger warnings and micro-aggression on a regular and recurring basis?

Well, we DO have a disagreement them.
I have a real big problem with filtering FACTS through a filter that includes your color, heritage, etc. Facts are facts and need to be taught regardless of the students heritage, skin color or anything. It is scary that anyone would be ok with that kind of thing.
I have no idea of how many. Since this does not bother you then it makes no difference. The thread is about the assault on our freedoms, but if it doe not bother anyone, then I am just in error here.
I would not want my child to be educated but filter what he/she is taught because the facts are hard to hear.
I would not want discipline to be meted out dependent on the color of the child's skin. Rules are rules and all you do is teach children to EXPECT priveleges because of their skin color. I mush have misunderstood, as I thought our goal was the opposite. No wonder American children not only don't know much but certainly do not know why.....it appears we are protecting them.
YES I KNOW THE EXCEPTIONS...again the point of this thread, to me anyway, is an assault on freedoms. You can be disciplined if you display things that offend others...thought that was what free speech was about. You will not be taught anything that upsets you..that does not sound like my freedom to learn and be availed the facts. You will not be disciplined if black or whatever...guess that depends.
You can like it...I do not.
