Rant: I used to think 'safe spaces' were a joke until my own talk got shut down at UC Berkeley for quoting a Supreme Court justice.

The "Justices quote" got shut down? That seems a bit off though, doesn't it?

The talk you're likely referring to was the 2017 protest of Milo Yiannopoulos. That event was cancelled due to campus safety concerns over a planned protest, not because of a single quoted statement. The situation was more about the event's overall context and the potential for violent disruption.

That's a fair point, but the safety concerns came from the content itself sparking such a strong reaction.
