Exactly. This is a much more common, and for more significant, problem. And here's a little tidbit from today's news:

"“I feel as if I would have to compromise my personal Christian moral beliefs to read it,” Brian Grasso wrote on the Duke University Class of 2019 Facebook page, a closed group. He cited its “graphic visual depictions of sexuality,” as part of his reason. “Duke did not seem to have people like me in mind,” he added. “It was like Duke didn’t know we existed, which surprises me.”"

The right complains ceaselessly about trigger warnings and professorial statements, but the right also is ceaselessly saying they shouldn't have to read stuff. How can they have it both ways?

Best,
