Swarthmore College’s independent student publication now places trigger warnings at the top of select news articles that could be considered offensive to some students.
The "content warnings" frequently appear in articles discussing statements by Donald Trump, even when Trump's actual words are not used in the story.
Despite the prevalence of the warnings, The Phoenix actually has an official editorial policy rejecting the use of trigger warnings.
