University bosses remove part of an Ancient Greek poem that mentions domestic violence to avoid upsetting students

Decision made on the grounds that the words could 'potentially trigger' distress. Critics fear others may be targeted and warned of 'slippery slope' to censorship. The 118-line poem is controversial because of the way women are portrayed.

Millennials, now the woke 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Well done. It’s necessary to break the old things to create something new

Can we still say ‘Greek’?

Most of history had violence. Most of today has violence. Most of tomorrow will have violence. If everything is upsetting, move to the moon.

Just teach them not humour them.

Oh the poor lambs!

Better not let them watch Bambi then

I cannot understand the thinking behind facing reality in history. There is a stupidity that permeates through academia. Domestic violence is caused by insecurity, alcohol and various other reasons. Think before you act.

the woke generation strikes again... then they better never watch the news...or they will be depressed forever, such a wimps

Oop.. better get rid of all those stories telling about War, Genocide, Witch Trials, Slavery & Holocaust too .. can’t let young minds know anything barbaric ever happened in the world’s history. Only peaches & roses permitted

Phew
