Letters: Take PTSD in college seriously

Re “Warning: This editorial may upset you,” Editorial, March 31

The Times claims, “The latest attack on academic freedom comes not from government authorities or corporate pressure but from students.”

That is completely ridiculous.

The Times needs to show some real sensitivity to those who suffer every day from post-traumatic stress disorder. You can’t even begin to fathom what it’s like to live through a traumatic experience that causes these issues. Every member of the editorial board should make it a point to talk to people who have PTSD and gain some critical perspective.

Good for UC Santa Barbara student leaders for calling on professors to warn students when class material may trigger severe distress.
