As Americans comes to terms with the election results, students seem to need extra time and care to cope with Donald Trump’s victory. Colleges across the US have canceled classes and exams, offered disaster counseling and dog and coloring book therapies. '
Since Wednesday, schools have been trying to help students recover from election day, which for some ended in a shocking outcome.
Classes were canceled or postponed the morning after the elections at some colleges due to understanding that students had stayed up late to wait for the results. Some professors even decided that holding exams would be counterproductive because students complained about “serious stress.”
One University of Michigan psychology professor postponed an exam until November 16. “However one feels about the results of this important election, it’s clear that it (and the period leading up to it) is/has been very distracting and upsetting to many students,” professor John Snodgrass wrote in an email, cited by the College Fix. “I’ve been receiving many emails in recent hours from students requesting to delay the exam due to associated serious stress.”

My heart bleeds for these poor students. LOL
Those poor, poor coddled babies!
Grow up, already!!! Fer Crissakes!!
This reinforces the idea that college makes one stupider and dumber.
Parents - keep wasting your money sending your kids to university. Ha ha!! They’re nothing but Leftist indoctrination centers.
What happens when these “students” encounter the real world outside which doesn’t giver a damn how they feel? Fetal position while sucking thumb, I guess.
Good gawd .... Heck ... Does this mean our entire educational system, and thus .... our Future, is Now populated with Adult Babies? .... I fear we are doomed.
Yeah they need their safe space with their beanie babies, crayons and coloring books and juice boxes!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Now thanks to Jill they are going to lose again
The Russian Army must think we’ll be a pushover.
Boy, are they (Russians) in for an unpleasant surprise!!
First, this confirms the wisdom that I had in not wanting to go to school unless I could fit the entire bill myself and not incur debt. As a result, I didn’t go and I thank God on a regular basis.
Second, why on holy mother earth are parents paying for their kids to go to school? Please explain that one to me. no parent should be obligated to pay for their kids to go to school. No parent should keep paying their adult kid’s way.

This is beyond lunacy...HOW are they going to deal with JIHADISTS???? It’s like “The Time Machine” with the Eloi going up against the Morlocks!!!
Time to call out the mind-predators in academia.
Time to Make Education Great Again!
I wish the schools would publish names so we can know who not to consider for jobs in the real world. Can you imagine being an employer and having eployees come up with this BS.
I suspect more for faculty than students.
“Oh, yeah? Well, Trump ate my term paper, prof! How about cutting me some slack on this, huh?” (/sarc)
the only way to save them is to shut down all colleges for 4 yrs.... so they can recover in the family basement!!!
I agree. We’ve helped our kids a little with college but for the most part it’s on them.
Any big help is as interest free loans. One son just got an internship that should pay him enough to cover the vast amount of his last year and a half of school.
When I was in college, I actually lost a term paper to a tornado. I was given a full day to complete it. That’s it. No puppies, no coloring books.
They didn’t do this when Obama was elected. Somehow this doesn’t add up.
