With puppies, Play-doh and coloring books, safe spaces and therapy sessions turn universities into a joke.
One of the more amusing bits of fallout from last week’s election has been the safe-space response of many colleges and universities to the election of the “wrong” candidate. But on closer examination, this response isn’t really amusing. In fact, it’s downright mean.
Trump’s substantial victory, when most progressives expected a Hillary landslide, came as a shock to many. That shock seems to have been multiplied in academe, where few people seem to know any Trump supporters — or, at least, any Trump supporters who’ll admit to it.
The response to the shock has been to turn campuses into kindergarten. The University of Michigan Law School announced a ”post-election self-care” event with “food and play,” including “coloring sheets, play dough [sic], positive card-making, Legos and bubbles with your fellow law students.” (Embarrassed by the attention, UM Law scrubbed the announcement from its website, perhaps concerned that people would wonder if its graduates would require Legos and bubbles in the event of stressful litigation.)
Stanford emailed its students and faculty that psychological counseling was available for those experiencing “uncertainty, anger, anxiety and/or fear” following the election. So did the University of Michigan’s Flint campus.
Meanwhile, even the Ivy League wasn’t immune, with Penn (Trump’s alma mater) creating a post-election safe space with puppies and coloring books:
Student Daniel Tancredi reported that the people who attended were “fearful” about the results of the election.

Open minds are not wanted on America’s diploma mills. You go there to be programmed, not to think.
class action law suit slam dunk with prejudice - make it hurt bad
Pathetic. I would be embarrassed to attend one of those sessions. And, we didn’t need them for 8 years. What a bunch of pathetic universities spewing out pathetic graduates.
“Future leaders of America?”
I know you said this sarcastically, but the fact is that the idea that ‘leaders’ should come from specific university backgrounds is one of the things that has markedly hurt the US and led to poor leadership in government for too long. Just as we should not judge people by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, we should also not judge people by their ‘academic pedigree’, but rather by their demonstrated abilities, creativity, industry, ability to think outside the box, as well as the content of their character.
Heaven Help Us All.
72 years ago 18-25 year old young Americans stormed the beaches in France and the Pacific islands. They helped to defeat some of the most tyrannical dictators of all time. Today, the young snowflakes cannot even walk to their indoctrination classes without a comforting Teddy Bear or some assurance of a nurturing breast to suck on. This is what resulted from America accepting the foolishness of the 60's and 70's "student" uprisings as just college pranks. NO MORE! These paid for Marxist designed demonstrations must be dealt with and stopped with the extreme prejudice they deserve. At least try to learn something from your mistakes America.
“Pathetic. I would be embarrassed to attend one of those sessions. And, we didn’t need them for 8 years. What a bunch of pathetic universities spewing out pathetic graduates.”
The University of Michigan used to be a great learning institution but through all the “pre-programming” of the students by those who dropped in and out during drugs of the 60’s and who run the once great learning centers, these poor pathetic results don’t stand a chance of being anything more than little sheep who will do what they are told because they have never been taught any coping abilities.....GOD help this country.
We have a lot of work to do to straighten out colleges and public education.
6 Minute Video! This guy is a flaming lefty but he hits it spot on. All conservatives should pray that, as is their M.O., his buds on the left IGNORE HIM.
The BOTTOM LINE? In a unique form of political suicide, the very Political Correctness the left invented to shut US UP has KILLED THEM!
Ain’t payback a bitch?
LANGUAGE WARNING! “F BOMBS” GALORE!
