Very strongly agree

No, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life

This answer aligns closely with the right's ideology on education and free speech. Many conservatives and right-leaning individuals argue that college should be a place where students are exposed to diverse viewpoints and learn to navigate and engage with challenging ideas. They see this as essential preparation for participating in a pluralistic society and the real world, where one must be able to confront and discuss differing opinions.

Disagree

Yes, provide trigger warnings but students do not need safe spaces

While there might be some on the right who see the merit in providing trigger warnings for particularly sensitive content, the general consensus remains that universities should not be obligated to create environments that shield students from ideas or content that might be deemed offensive or challenging. The provision of trigger warnings is often seen as a slippery slope towards limiting academic freedom.
