From the OP Article.
So let's take a look at Jeannie Suk's writing [0]
>One teacher I know was recently asked by a student not to use the word “violate” in class—as in “Does this conduct violate the law?”—because the word was triggering. Some students have even suggested that rape law should not be taught because of its potential to cause distress.
And cited a real law student (female or not) who was actually offended by the word "violate" and asked for it to not be used because it was triggering. As well as some students suggesting rape law shouldn't be taught at all.

Let's break the point down a bit. For an actual rape survivor, it's possible the word "violate" might be triggering. If that's the case in that room, then perhaps another word should be used.
As for not teaching rape law, while rape law is something that might be triggering to a victim, this is a rare example where not teaching it, at least if it's a requirement of the program, is a problem. There's a discussion that can occur about the appropriateness of teaching rape law in, say, an introduction to law course at the undergraduate level. Having the discussion is important.
Funny how the people who say that coddled students want to shut down all discussion, only to shut down discussion about what's appropriate to teach in general courses or for a university to endorse.
Similarly, if you can't handle law, you probably shouldn't be a lawyer.
