Freedom of (Speech)
In today's day and age, the millennials have started the never ending debate of free speech and "safe spaces". the question being, if these ideas are able to coexist on campus, or start an argument that has no end in sight. In Albert Mohlers article, he writes about how much the millennials are demanding for restrictions on what students can or cannot say on campus, and how they are expecting a safe, equal environment for their studies. What these students are failing to realize- or refusing to see- is that before them the age of the Baby Boomers had fought passionately for the rights which we seem to have taken advantage of. Now I understand that with everything that is going on in the world, there is bound to be fighting arguing, and plain- disagreement, but I think we millenials' have gotten to the point of crying over nothing. Back when the Baby Boomers fought for their rights, it was one of the many sparks that created the flames of a time of change in America. Now, it seems we are in the midst completely changing our minds as to what we want to be said to us.
