School is typically seen as a safe, educational environment. New strategies are constantly implemented to establish this type of environment. However, it seems like students cannot balance safety and education. People cannot voice their intellectual thoughts without being offensive once in awhile. Attempting to maintain intellectual safe spaces has only led to more limitations on expression. Instead, educators and students are only avoiding controversial topics and censoring their opinions. Schools are beginning to worry too much about hurting people’s feelings than the learning of their students.
