Snowflakes at the ultra-liberal Northern Arizona University are demanding that their President, Rita Cheng, step down today after a student asked for her opinion on 'safe spaces' and got a rather shocking dose of reality as a reply.

During a forum hosted by Cheng, NAU sophomore Breanna Kramer asked the following (per KPNX):

"How can you promote safe spaces, if you don't take action in situations of injustice, such as, last week, when we had the preacher on campus and he was promoting hate speech against marginalized students? As well as, not speaking out against racist incidents like blackface two months ago by student workers followed by no reform and no repercussions?"

And while Kramer expected a softball response from her school's president, what she actually got was a heaping dose of 'real life'...which, of course, immediately 'triggered' every snowflake within an earshot of the president's 'microaggression'.

"As a university professor, I'm not sure I have any support at all for safe space. I think that you as a student have to develop the skills to be successful in this world and that we need to provide you with the opportunity for discourse and debate and dialogue and academic inquiry, and I'm not sure that that is correlated with the notion of safe space as I've seen that."

In the aftermath of the atrocity, NAU students took to Facebook to do what all snowflakes do when their bastions of liberalism refuse to bend to their every demand...namely, organize a protest...

Meanwhile, the mass-triggering event caused local news agencies to spring into action with a series of accusatory questions...

Q: What does President Cheng think about the NAU SAC asking for her resignation if she doesn't provide a safe space for all students?

A: NAU is safe. Creating segregated spaces for different groups on our campus only [leads] to misunderstanding, distrust and [reduces] the opportunity for discussion and engagement and education around diversity. Our classrooms and our campus is a place for engagement and respect - a place to learn from each other. NAU is committed to an atmosphere that is conducive to teaching and learning.

Q: Does she only bring up diversity and equality on campus when it opens up the school for grant and fund eligibility?

A: President Cheng has been addressing diversity and equality in her words and her actions since the day she arrived at NAU. Her leadership in advocating for our students and their success is reflected in the fact that our enrollment mirrors the diversity of our State.

Q: Is she willing to sit down with NAU SAC representatives (if she hasn't already) to hear their concerns and see what she can do to address them?

A: Yes. The President is and has always been willing to meet with representatives of student groups. There were hundreds of people at Wednesday's forum - faculty staff and students. The few dozen who left, missed the opportunity to hear the questions of others, including several similar to theirs, and the answers that followed.

We'll set the over/under at 1 week for Cheng's remaining tenure at NAU....

... seems the monkeys are running the zoo now...

I think that's an insult to monkeys.

Wait...don't monkeys get safe spaces in zoo's?

...I might become a teacher if they'd let me carry a tranquilizer gun, anesthetize students, and put them in cages.

One thing I find amusing:

And then "As a university professor, I'm not sure... I think that...we need to provide you with the opportunity...I'm not sure that that... as I've seen that."

IMO with the conditional phrasing she used they got a softball response.

I can see safe spaces for rape and violence and threats of danger, but come on. If they need safe spaces for things like this, that is called mommy and daddy's house. What are they going to do when they are out in the real world?

What are they going to do when they are out in the real world?

They are going to be in for the shock of their life. They are going to quickly realize that the place they were in ( university) was actually a "safe spot".. and they were actually living a sheltered life.

They are going to find that the world is tough and unforgiving. And that you get paid by results.. not by complaining and whining, that in fact gets you fired.

Many of these pansies will fail and then at some point in their life the will wise up and toughen up or they will have one hell of a tough life.

Who pays for the Wifi in these
Safe Spaces?

I am more and more thankful that my son (26 yrs old) know better. He knows to face challenges without the help of play doh. If our future is coddling whiners...end me now

It starts at home. On how they were brought up. Some were brought up the right way. To go out there.. take your lumps.. don't complain.. and make a name for yourself.. make your life what you want it to be

Others make a life of complaining.. and looking for all the blocks to magically fall into place for them.

It don't work that way.

I would be embarrassed of my parenting skills if my son behaved this way. He hasn't played with play doh since he was little
