Safe Spaces Endanger Minds
Commentary
The safe space “a place or environment in which a person or category of people can feel confident that they will not be exposed to discrimination, criticism, harassment, or any other emotional or physical harm,” according to the Oxford Dictionary arose out of a perceived need for designated places in which marginalized groups could feel permitted to express themselves openly, and therefore is theoretically predicated on the ideals of free speech.
But, as safe spaces have sprung up on college campuses around the world, they’ve turned on that mission entirely.

A California man is suing Twitter and two progressive congresswomen in connection with President Donald Trump s suspension from the social media platform, citing overbearing pain and suffering.
In the complaint filed in a U.S. District Court in California on Tuesday, Erik Estavillo argued that he and every follower that was, without a doubt, emotionally and mentally damaged as a result of the Presidents ban is entitled to $88.7 million each.
Estavillo, who is representing himself, is also seeking the reinstatement of Trump s account and a retaliatory Twitter ban on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, who, he argues, promote Eastern communist philosophies.
David Goldbergerer told Newsweek that a permanent social media ban on Trump would be "ridiculous," but the platforms decisions to do so does not violate the Constitution.
