Every year I threaten my academic future. I toy with the idea of putting up a "Dangerous Space, Dangerous Person" sign on my door; it would rival all of the pink triangles on the office hallway.
This year, I face a different temptation. What if teachers started posting "Safe Space, Safe Person" stickers expressing students' freedom to religious speech?
At the moment, though, my future is safe if only due to a lack of design concept...
(I know some clever person is going to post a reply saying that a religious Safe Space symbol already exists and that it's called a crucifix, but something tells me that doesn't exactly convey the idea I was striving for. It would, however, be ironic to make the statement of religious freedom through an image of religious persecution.)
The first paragraph had me laughing out loud! I've thought of that too. I say go for a red octagon.
