Or perhaps you might want letters such as this from other professors articulating the opposite viewpoint: that trigger warnings should be used in classrooms?
Now see, there's your problem. When I talk about the opinion of mental health experts, the inclusion of empirical evidence to back opinion is assumed — that's why we separate a conclusion of the APA or a psychiatrist writing in a peer-reviewed journal from Ablow's or Krauthammer's rant of the day.
Your depiction of such professionals as "quacks" means that you, almost by definition, deny such an implicit inclusion of evidence-based opinion. You seem to have an unwarranted dim view of mental health professionals and the amount of work that goes into forming an expert opinion.
