B.C. President Calls College Kids Soft

February 22, 2017

Father William Leahy, a Jesuit who is president of Boston College, came out against so-called “safe spaces” on campus, saying:  “I don’t want anybody being harassed or called names— but I think there’s a softness in the American segment of the population aged 18 to 22, where some people don’t want anybody to disagree with them. And parents, in so many instances, have protected their children. Life has some tough moments.”
