In his convocation address on Monday, Northwestern University president Morton Schapiro told wide-eyed freshmen that anyone who dares oppose trigger warnings, or who belittles the pain of those microaggressed, is an "idiot" and a "lunatic."

He followed a neighboring college administrator's lead in taking a firm stance on the trappings of soft-core censorship. But President Schapiro disagrees with trend-setting University of Chicago dean John Ellison—who, in a predictably controversial annual welcome letter, told first-year students they should not expect "safe spaces" in which to cower from uncomfortable ideas.

Although he is a university president, Schapiro does not take kindly to uncomfortable ideas. Author of many a pro-"safe space" op-ed, he suggests he'll also use his day job as a platform to promote the code of campus political correctness, now that the semester's begun.

Consider this your trigger warning: Schapiro's speech, per the Daily Northwestern's reporting, contains name-calling.
