New York University law school administration has caved to student demands and promise next year's Halloween celebrations will be less triggering for them, reports The College Fix. The complaints centered around the law school's administration allowing silhouetted images they felt promoted depression, suicide, and domestic violence.

Letters sent to the deans by NYU law students were publish earlier this month in The Washington Post by Eugene Volokh, a teacher of First Amendment law and religious freedom at UCLA School of Law. He asked readers to keep a few things in mind when considering what they wrote:

I’m skeptical about the merits of the complaints, but here they are, so you can decide for yourselves (and, if my guess is right, get a taste of what you’re likely to be hearing more of in coming years).

Also, while reading this, ask yourself: If “members of the mental health community and those whose lives have been touched by suicide” are so fragile (recall that the objection isn’t just to the speech being supposedly offensive, but also to its being “triggering” and “harmful”), why would people want to employ them as lawyers?

In part, the NYU Mental Health Law and Justice Association wrote:

[We write] this open letter in order to express grave concern and outrage at the triggering, disrespectful, and harmful suicide imagery displayed at Fall Ball.

…there were video projections on the windows inside of Greenberg Lounge of silhouetted people engaging in what we can only imagine were intended to be “spooky” activities. One of the images projected displayed a man dying by suicide.

Because MHLJA follows the recommendations of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to not discuss suicide methods and firmly believes in publishing content that is safe for all members of our community, we will not provide any more details about the projection. However, members of our organization do have photographs of the images, should your administration need corroboration.

The letter goes on to inform that suicide is the second leading cause of death on college campuses and far too serious of an issue to make into a "Halloween gimmick."

The student letter also "condemns" the other projected images, saying they depicted "violence against women and interpersonal violence."

"Our campus should be a safe space for all members of our community, particularly those who are most vulnerable. Violence and the difficult mental health challenges people face are not a joke, a gimmick, or a spectacle," the letter states.

It ended urging the deans to publicly apologize and ensure students that all future events will be free of this type of triggering imagery. (Pictures apparently no one has seen but these students.)

The MHLJA group was joined by NYU's Latino Law Students Association (LaLSA) -- who prefers the name Latinxs (La-teen-ex) because its a "gender-neutral alternative to the usual gendered designation of Latino/a" -- through a letter of their own that also called for a "safe space" at school for the more vulnerable among them:

As a community, Latinxs continue to experience significant rates of suicide and chronic depression... Lawyers are 3.6 times more likely to experience depression and have the 4th highest rate of suicide relative to other professions.

As an organization that values intersectionality, LaLSA seeks to recognize and affirm the ways in which our struggles as marginalized communities overlap and intersect. In that vein, we stand in solidarity with MHLJA and with all students whose lives have been touched by suicide.

And amazingly, it worked. The story was recently updated with the NYU School of Law's response:

"We agree that some of the imagery at this year’s Fall Ball was inappropriate and it won’t be used again. Our dean of students is always accessible for members of our student community to raise concerns and he will be meeting with those who did so in this matter."

Volokh got it right when he said this is "what you're likely to be hearing more of in coming years." Political correctness and progressive sensitivity is all the rage on campuses everywhere, as you've read about here on TruthRevolt. But what happens when these super-sensitives graduate into the real world and find out there are no safe spaces to hunker underneath? Well, as Volokh rightly predicts, they will realize they are unhireable.
