No- It used to be considered a good thing to have our beliefs challenged, to have our presumptions and assumptions examined anew. In fact that was thought by many to be the main purpose of education, particularly university education.
Now people need 'safe places' without any challenges to their beliefs. I would include in this group people who have only news that agrees with their biases delivered to them (via cable TV or 'social media'.)

BTW, the initial reference in this thread was to the fact that ghastly accident pictures probably couldn't be posted in a shop classroom because they would be considered 'hurtful'. So we aren't talking about the future of civilization here!

Anyway, this post should probably be deleted under the 'no politics' rules - sorry.
