Talk:Safe space
Edits to "Arguments for the creation of safe spaces"
Those who find value in safe space explain that, at a school like Columbia, students frequently feel attacked and targeted by a campus atmosphere that allows for affirmative action bakesales, racist comics, and homophobic and racist hate crimes.
- Replaced this with the more specific sentences below:
- People in favor of creating safe spaces claim that students who are gay or who belong to racial minorities have frequently been insulted at Columbia. They say that insults have been issued, for example, at the affirmative action bake sale, in a cartoon in The Fed, and in acts involving homophobia and racism.

The intention is not to create safe spaces to stand in contrast to that which is unsafe, but rather, to move towards a university community where those values are respected across campus.
- Replaced this with the more specific sentence below.
- People in favor of creating safe spaces also say that creating safe spaces is just a temporary step towards the whole university becoming a safe space.
