This coddled, “safe space” of Calvin College is a disservice to everyone. Let’s be honest: people almost everywhere else wouldn’t care that a Meijer was labeled “the ghetto one,” and no one cares that you feel particularly victimized today. Also, and this might really blow your mind, just because you have a thought, that doesn’t mean that particular thought has any merit. I’m not a liberal arts professor; I will tell you how wrong you are.

Please, professors, try to be more like the Oklahoma Wesleyan University president who, instead of adding another layer of foam protection to the sharp corners of the university, actually challenged the students’ imagined victimhood: “It’s not a daycare. It’s a university.” Those words should be put on a gold plaque and displayed on campuses everywhere! But thanks to the baby-proofed college campuses, we have gaggles of students saying, “I feel like…” instead of thinking through actual facts. Meanwhile, in their free time the same students are throwing their bras at an old socialist who clearly refuses to buy a comb because, apparently, they’re the instrument of the capitalist.

This is where we are now, a rising generation operating through their overinflated self-worth nurtured by the non-offensive education that instructs them to support failing policies masquerading as solutions. To them the solution to a half century of a country pulled to the left is to pull the plug so the full cascade of socialism can finally put the pillow over the face of any true progress.

All the issues we’re hoping to “repair” from the left are issues because of the left. You don’t like high tuition rates? Well they didn’t start their aggressive rise until leftists got involved in the ‘60s. Does Bernie Sanders have a good immigration reform plan? We wouldn’t even be discussing this if Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy had left it alone. Wouldn’t it be great if health care costs weren’t so high? Again, they weren’t a problem until liberals tried to fix it back in the ‘60s. Are you getting it yet?

See, facts are great — that’s why we shouldn’t shy away from them simply because they may offend someone.
