There is no right to feel safe. None. That is the biggest fallacy, and the foundation, of the entire "woke" movement. Just because something is desirable does not make it a right.

You have a right to pursue safety, just like you have a right to pursue happiness. But you have no right to a guaranteed outcome, let alone a "feeling".

If I'm a professor, I'd play the same game. As soon as the student "challenged" me, I would sit down, curl up and whine "You are making me feel unsafe, and I am going to report you! You do not have the right to make me feel unsafe!"

And ask the weasel of an administrator: "Is the right of which you speak a natural right or a civil right?"

Universities need to add two words to their vocabulary, and use them frequently: "Grow up!"

I will add there is nothing about this that deals with safety or feeling safe.
