    Growing up protected from offense leaves you unprepared for adulthood in a world where "safe spaces" are a silly fantasy and nobody gives a squirt of piss how you feel. You don't shelter them from bullies. You teach them how to deal effectively DEAL WITH bullies.

    If you're white, get a gun.
    If you're black, politely wait for the cop to crush your throat.

    Does your workplace have a complaints procedure?

    Because I wish my school playground had.

    Adults have all sorts of measures for dealing with bullies kids don't, so fuck off with that shit.

    Because it is a place where they are learning to be people, not expected to show up already prepared for everything. Self-defense and conflict resolution ARE part of that, like it or not. Indulging the fantasy of a world where they will never be confronted with aggression is doing them a disservice.

    If someone is contemplating suicide because of bullying, there are TWO sets of behaviors to be corrected.

    And you don't think that it's a good idea to let kids know which teachers they can approach to help with being bullied? I think you're imposing your strawman definition of safe space. If a kid knows that Ms. Smith has a safe space poster, but Ms. Jones doesn't, the kid is more likely to go to Ms. Smith who then should be able to address the situation appropriately (i.e., reporting the bullying to the administration, which any sane person would do, rather than just telling them to toughen up).

    As @matthunter pointed out, workplaces have such complaint procedures in place, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's illegal to harass someone because of various protected categories. So yes, in adulthood, there are mechanisms for reporting and correcting illegal behavior.

    I'll bite, how do you effectively deal with bullies?

    Edit: and since the consequences for putting the wrong policies in place are so dire for kids involved, citations to studies, psychologists, or any other expert evidence you consider relevant is appreciated.

    No, do not ever go to Human resources with your complaint. That is not a safe space. I have been there and made that mistake. Making a complaint in the workplace puts a big old fire me target on your back.

    Your safe space is your lawyers office where you pay for them to protect you.

    They also have to get any teacher who mentions the abrahamic religions fired under the new law for the indoctrination of sexual materials and inapropriate discussions of sexuality and gender identification with children.

    The use of their law against their goals is the best way to undermine them.

    Sacrifice your first born son onto the voices in your head. Kill women who talk about spirits. Poison your wife to stop her pregnancy. Beat you wife and children. Instructions on how to own slaves because slavery is good and a part of god's word.

    JFC should not be taught to children because it totally undermines the social contract, ethics, morals, and is violently sexual and perverse. I am saying that as a trans, bisexual, furry, drug using, witch with BDSM fantasies. I am keeping children out of my closet and reading materials until they are of age, and the torah/bible/koran should be in the adult closet with me.

    No joke, yesterday I was scrolling along through X-Hamster, and they had one of Noah getting sleep-fucked by his daughters.
    Even porno knows the Bible is fucked.

    It'd be pretty hard to move their theme parks....as far as their back office stuff, they've been moving a lot of those operations into Florida to get away from California. There's an irony with that for those that care to see it. :spock:

    I am pretty sure the duh has less taxes than california for business, and none of that can be ended for disney alone. There is little that desantis can do to fuck disney out of the gigantic corporate incentives to move to floriduh. I guess he could try to single out disney for special taxes, but I do not think the republican courts would let punitive taxes for individual corporations fly.
