“Fear of War” should maybe be rephrased as “Threat of War”—unless you’re suggesting that the fear itself is the problem?

To oblige instructors to do so as a matter of policy — as some students and faculty are arguing we should — establishes an unnecessary restriction on both the instructor’s and students’ freedom of speech. It encourages a climate of undue caution, timidity, and even fear in what should be a wide-ranging but mutually respectful exploration of ideas.
In practice, trigger warnings often allow instructors to provide a wider range of materials to students than they might be willing to otherwise. If I, as a college instructor, weren’t permitted to issue trigger warnings to my students, I would likely avoid teaching many more sensitive materials. For example, I’d be reluctant to teach a text that involves rape if I couldn’t give students who might be traumatized by that material (rape survivors, e.g.) a way out.
