The Coddling Of The American Mind

<p>TRIGGER WARNING: if you&apos;re a SNOWFLAKE college professor afraid of how your students are expressing themselves, you might need a SAFE SPACE, because Michael and Peter are discussing &quot;The Coddling of The American Mind,&quot; a book about campus culture that&apos;s light on facts and heavy on cherry-picked anecdotes.<br/><br/>CORRECTION: The Socrates quote mentioned at the end of this episode is apocryphal. We thank the listeners who pointed this out for refusing to coddle our American minds.<br/><br/><a href='https://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPod'><b>Support us on Patreon</b></a><b>: <br/></b><a href='https://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPod'><b>https://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPod</b></a><b><br/><br/><br/>Where to find us: </b></p><ul><li><a href='https://twitter.com/IfBooksPod'>Twitter</a></li><li><a href='https://www.fivefourpod.com/'>Peter&apos;s other podcast, 5-4</a></li><li><a href='https://www.maintenancephase.com/'>Mike&apos;s other podcast, Maintenance Phase</a></li></ul><p><b>Sources:</b></p><ul><li>The Miseducation of Free Speech (<a href='https://www.virginialawreview.org/articles/miseducation-free-speech/'>https://www.virginialawreview.org/articles/miseducation-free-speech/</a>)</li><li>College and the “Culture War”: Assessing Higher Education’s Influence on Moral Attitudes (</li><li><a href='https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00031224211041094'>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00031224211041094</a>)</li><li>The Myth of the Campus Coddle Crisis (<a href='https://academeblog.org/2018/12/28/the-myth-of-the-campus-coddle-crisis-the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/'>https://academeblog.org/2018/12/28/the-myth-of-the-campus-coddle-crisis-the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/</a>)</li><li>What ‘Safe Spaces’ Really Look Like on College Campuses (<a href='https://www.chronicle.com/article/what-safe-spaces-really-look-like-on-college-campuses/?bc_nonce=peduocnzcslb08jxmt1dlb&amp;cid=reg_wall_signup'>https://www.chronicle.com/article/what-safe-spaces-really-look-like-on-college-campuses/?b
