By Krystal Willliamson —
Mr. Amon wrote a piece on Nov. 17 that expressed a negative viewpoint towards the inclusion of safe spaces on college campuses, posturing that campuses were “coddling” students in need of a place to vent their emotions after the election. What Mr. Amon seems to have missed is that while safe spaces is a relatively new term, it is not a new concept. For decades, we have had institutions in place that have offered places for people to come as they are to grieve, vent and come together to face the problems of the world together as a community.
