Trump and College Chaos
Jewish World Review ^ | November 23, 2016 | Walter E. Williams

Posted on 11/23/2016 7:46:01 AM PST by Kaslin

If one needed more evidence of the steep decay in academia, Donald Trump's victory provided it. Let's begin by examining the responses to his win, not only among our wet-behind-the-ears college students, many of whom act like kindergarteners, but also among college professors and administrators.

The University of Michigan's distressed students were provided with Play-Doh and coloring books, as they sought comfort and distraction. A University of Michigan professor postponed an exam after many students complained about their "serious stress" over the election results.

Cornell University held a campuswide "cry-in," with officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate. One Cornell student said, "I'm looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now so I can remove myself before Trump repatriates me." The College Fix reported that "a dorm at the University of Pennsylvania ... hosted a post-election 'Breathing Space' for students stressed out by election results that included cuddling with cats and a puppy, coloring and crafting, and snacks such as tea and chocolate."

The University of Kansas reminded its stressed-out students that therapy dogs, a regular campus feature, were available.

I was around college campuses in years such as 1972, 1980, and 1988, when Republican candidates were elected president.

The liberals of those days were not happy with the results. However, we didn’t see all this business of therapy dogs and play doh sessions and counseling sessions due to the election.

Have we reached a point where we coddle people, esp. groups such as liberal college students, to the point where they can’t cope with life itself??

We all have disappointments in life, problems in life. Elections happen, and we all have had the frustrations of seeing candidates for office whom we didn’t support get elected. This is part of life. That these liberal college kids and assorted radical groups seemingly can’t accept or understand that Trump will be president speaks volumes, about their coping skills in life.

Actually, the coddling takes place long before they get to college. The snowflake students are just the end result.

Their behavior is what you get from a liberal education with the everyone's-a-winner, never-been-told-you're-wrong, participation trophy kids. Conservatives have a lot better attitude:

Other than not paying for the Play Doh etc., I’m not sure what we can do about their hurt feelings.

If these punks in colleges around the nation are going to be future leaders of what will be left of the nation by then, I am super damned glad that I will be dead and gone. I feel for my grandchildren and great grandchildren who will have to live in this stinking swamp 20 and more years from now. By virtue of all of we solid Christians and conservatives dying off, the Republic WILL die off in the future. And not that far off in the future in my honest opinion.

Yep——exactly what the curricula (Common Core, NCLB, Goals 2000, etc) is designed to do: make “little girls and beta male-ettes”——brainwash little children with irrational cr*p so they remain immature and puerile and hyper-sexualized so they destroy civil society and any of their offspring (or kill them) when they become “adults” (which they never will).

The hyper-sexualization in Kindergarten on through Latency fixates children into the puerile age where they objectify everyone by sex organs and learn the humanist worldview, where people are objects to be used and discarded.

For their herd of cattle, they need our little children in their indoctrination group-(non)-think factories, so they can destroy the Mind—compartmentalize the Mind so it will NEVER integrate-—they will be stupid for life, unable to connect the Dots and understand Truth and Reality.

And that is the point of Marxism/brainwashing: to create Cognitive Dissonance when exposed to the Facts/Truth (God)-—so that they will be unable to use Reason over Emotions. They will be addicts and ignorant—incapable of Freedom and Virtue (each is necessary for Agency (Freedom) and “thinking for self” which ONLY comes from Classical Christian curricula which was destroyed by the Cultural Marxists in 1930 for their moral relativism and Up is Down and Boys are Girls irrational radical egalitarianism (utopia).

For how much a Cornell education costs, my son’s classes had better NOT have been cancelled for any reason.

January 21 is going to loom in their minds like the wall Trump’s going to build as it gets closer and closer.
