    I really like the use of "trigger words" in education. I don't think it matters if it is used in college or in K12. The whole point is to alert you to a possible trauma causing conversation or topic that could come up in class that could make someone uncomfortable. Unfortunately there are so many triggers in the world today that you could never call out all of them. The teacher made reference to an apple. Who would think that was a trigger? Not I.

    This is an example of statistics based fact that suggests an increase in education among women actually effects the mortality rate in children under the age of 5. Substantial educational improvement in women was also shown to not only improve health but also the status and roles of women in society.

    Among other cherished values, the First Amendment protects freedom of speech. The U.S. Supreme Court often has struggled to determine what exactly constitutes protected speech. The following are examples of speech, both direct (words) and symbolic (actions), that the Court has decided are either entitled to First Amendment protections, or not.
