THIS WEDNESDAY there will be a discussion in 203 Math to discuss safe spaces. The facebook event page as well as the posters themsevles have generated a lot of discussion.

 

One commenter on the facebook event page wrote:

 

CUCR's flyers were misleading, inflammatory, and puerile, but they've done their job: conversation has exploded on campus about the symbolism and reality of safe spaces, and why they're necessary. There's inarguably a lot wrong with the GOP flyers - for one, they don't distinguish between simple club spaces on campus and the symbolic pink "safe space" flyers, which aim for ubiquity and exist as a product of the string of suicides earlier in the year that were clear reminders that homophobia is still very real in this country.

 

Which is a clear indication of the passion behind these arguments as well as the way these posters have stimulated conversation.

 

To add your voice to the conversation, vote on CPU's poll and go to Math 203 THIS WEDNESDAY at 8pm -- CPU (and cubpub) will be there to cover the event. So come if you want a chance to see yourself hipsterized like these cool people.
