I agree with the author because students should be cautious of what they are wearing but still be allowed to wear what they choose to wear and having disagreements of what people wear is part of life. College life is about experiencing new things and learning new things. The professors should not have resigned because they should face the problem and not have that affect them.  The teachers being the authority should step up and say what they think is right, you don't have to back down your postition to make a statement or avoid the problem.

I agree with the author because the students should be allowed to wear what they want, but they should be aware of what others might think if they wear something that goes against their religion, culture etc. The students should be able to make decisions for themselves. I also think that the way the students reacted was unnecessary and could have been done more privately such as through email.

I agree with the author and the professors because all they were trying to do was inform the students and try to not cause drama. All they tried to do was send out a quick reminder to students, but received unnecessary drama because students took the reminder differently than it meant to be.

I agree somewhat with the article, the article has some good points, that the students should view the school as a school, not as a private space to be comfortable. Everyday we come to school to learn, not to feel at home. I can't go up to my teacher and say I'm tired, I'm gonna take a nap. I don't think the professor meant hey, if you see a racist party, just break it up or don't care, but rather try to fix the situation yourself, if it is a situation that can be fixed by yourself. I feel sorry that he was let go from his job, his job is to teach and he seemed like he was doing that just fine. He also defended the girl that blew up in his face, which I thought was noble.

I agree with the fact that the professors were only trying to help the students but unfortunately they received an unexpected response from the students. It is also understandable that the students should be aware of what they choose to wear and be respectful to others, but the students should have freedom in what they want to wear. If people become offended they are grown enough to handle the situation themselves.

I disagree with the author because although the students are in college and should be able to make their own choices, one should be smart about said choices. If you decide to wear an offensive costume, you should be called out on it, Ivy League or not, you don't get to decide what offends people, so the obvious solution is just don't do it. Although, I do not think the professors should have had to step down, I do believe that they were not correct in saying that people should wear the offensive costumes and if you have a problem with it, you should just talk it out or, "ignore it." Many custumes CAN come off as culturally racist or offensive and there's no need to discuss it, that's not being babied, it's just being a decent person.

I disagree with the students they need to understand that isn't how the world works. They should not be complaining about what someone says to them. If they were in a professional work environment and a boss sent an email explaining something they disagree with they can not become angered or upset. Unfortunately you can't always have what you want in life that's just not the way it works. Things in life might get you upset. Life isn't Burger King you can't always have it your way.

I agree with the author in that it is unfortunate that two professors had to step down from their jobs over an issue that I believe was blown out of proportion. Although the students should be able to handle themselves as adults and know what is racist or not , I think that the way they handled it was disrespectful and immature.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with the students that it is the professors' job to create a safe area, or a comfortable home. As adults at a prestigious institution they should be aware that it is the professors' responsibility to expand their views, and experiences-not coddle them. The only exception to having a free intellectual space is when another student's rights are violated; when there are words or actions promoting violence, as well as any other civil or criminal offense against the community. While comfort is important, the institution is used to develop adults that would be responsible and independent. If I had to choose one or the other, I will surely choose the latter.

I believe the author is correct in some ways. In college, students should know right from wrong. The students in a college are 18 and older, they are considered adults. Unless someone is threatened or harmed, Yale should not get involved. Throughout life, no one will hold your hand or give you instructions, adults must make decisions for themselves and deal with their own problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this article because the students need to know what's write and wrong. Especially students that are attending a prestigious Ivy League student. I do feel that colleges have the obligation to tel, the students what they believe. I mean the students are attending the college. A simpler way of saying it is, if it's mine, i have control over it.

I disagree with the students because they are agreeing with the fact that they need to be supervised when choosing a Halloween costume and if they are offended by it then they need the staff to get them in trouble. It is an Ivy League school and students should be able to deal with a situation on their own.

I agree with the author and the professors

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author because I feel that everyone should do what they want to do. I understand if someone is offended by a costume, so them confront them about it. Just talk to people and state how you really feel, and everything should work out.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author because the professors were just voicing their opinions about how a student should be dealing with their own issues, yet they did come off a little harsh the students are grown ups.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author because the students are young adults and should be able to handle themselves in the real world, which college is supposed to prepare you for. They should be capable of accepting the problems of society and be able to distance themselves from offensive people and actions. The students are asking to be babied, proving that they are not ready to be alone in life and they still need to have their hands held.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author because the professors were just explaining their own opinion on a topic relating to the school. Their intentions were to give students more freedom and independence.

I agree with the author because these students should be able to watch over themselves and the professors had the right to voice their opin

I agree with the article because the teachers were unfairly forced to resign because of the students not accepting their opinions. The students believed that they had to resign because they were upset that the teachers had not "respected their home". The students should know what to do by themselves with picking their costumes, they should not have to be told how and what to decide for their costume.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author of the article, in the sense that Yale isn't supposed to be a long term home, just a place where you go to learn and then move on to a career in whatever field you chose.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author of the article because they were right by saying that it is a shame that the professors were pressured into resigning for trying to help the students express themselves. He wanted the students to learn how to deal with situations like adults by talking about the problems that they have. I do believe that he wanted to make Yale a safe environment for the students

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author and professor. I think the students took the situation too far and it's Yales and the students loss in the end.

I agree with the author and the professors because the real world does not have a safe space and Yale is a learning environment more than a home

I disagree with the article. Everyone's saying the kids shouldn't have to be babied. That's exactly the point, they shouldn't have to be babies they should know right from wrong, they should know racism isn't okay. I don't think it was a waste firing them, they weren't putting themselves in the students shoes. They don't know why they feel that way so they don't really have a say.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the authors point of view because the professors were trying to teach their student how to take matters into their own hands and be independent. The students should be mature enough to confront an issue that is affecting them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author and the professors. I feel that the costumes mentioned in the article have very little reason to affect people to this point of agression. When you face a problem in the real world, you don't stomp your foot and complain to people who tell you how it is. You deal with the problem as best you can and move on. No, it isn't ok to dress in these costumes, but people do things anyway whether its right or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the author's position. The protestors did not respect the opinions of the professor's and took no time to consider it. Although some thought should be brought to rules regarding Halloween, it's both the student and professor's job to conduct an intellectual discussion about it, not demand an apology and assume that your position can be the only right one. Overpolicing students, especially at an Ivy League institution such as Yale, provides no way for students to learn and grow from mistakes. As a place of education, Yale should be ashamed for allowing different thoughts and opinions to be silenced, and they are ultimately not acting as a place of learning, debate, and discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with author at the fact that the students should look out for themselves not be looked after like little kids their entire lives. Aswell  as the fact that the professors were pressured into resignation did not help Yale in any way. In fact, I think it made it worse because now those students are going to expect to be looked out for by someone when in reality their just going to dig themselves a hole their never gonna get out of.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe these professors took advantage of their leadership roles. The students were right in saying that it should be a safe environment and an enviroment in which they can live. It is hard for the students to understand what the teachers message is trying to concey and it is challenging for the teachers to see where these students are coming from.
