Students would come into class and complain that certain subjects offended them, or were contrary to their political beliefs. They try to suppress the exchange of thought in the class, and the professors stop that immediately. As adults, the world cannot guarantee a person will be in a safe space, blocked from offensive material. They are told to develop these skills or ask for assistance obtaining the coping skills needed to engage and handle things that offend them.
Depending on the class, some discussions can be politically confrontational and others can bring up suggestive literary works that illicit strong sexual over and undertones. The funny thing is when an MRA-type or self-affecting type tries to inject their beliefs into the classroom, to make others feel intimidated, it backfires. After a few classes, and enlightenment by others, they back off on their disruptions. This, is what the conservatives hate, the challenge to their screwed up and misogynistic positions--calling it liberal indoctrination. When really just common decency and humanity are shown.
