Abstract	In this article, Turcotte-Summers responds to Eamonn Callan's essay "Education in Safe and Unsafe Spaces" (2016) with three main counterarguments. First, the correct response to the systemic oppressions faced by our students is not a more liberal but a more liberatory and radical education. Second, dignity safety is not a useful construct for such an education, nor are any constructs of safety based on psychological states; instead, proposed is one based on reducing proven, observable causes of harm, especially the violence of systemic oppressions--an interpretation that may challenge the hegemonic view of free speech and academic freedom. Third, while civility and candor are desirable in a classroom, they should not be prioritized over virtues that are more essential to anti-oppressive harm reduction, such as commitment to equity, love of justice, and vulnerability.
