With final exams approaching, some universities are offering their students stress relief measures such as puppies, acupuncture, and massages to ensure they don’t get too stressed out.

The University of North Carolina-Wilmington, for example, is providing its students with a “relaxation station,” complete with a number of stress relieving activities like puzzles, coloring, massages, puppies, and even acupuncture.

How about “medicinal” marijuana? Or tequila and hookers for the traditionalists?

An excellent question. Testing is stressful and prone to Inequality Of Result. Participation trophies for everyone!

We had a sorority in the same residential building, and they had their own way of blowing off exam steam... ;-)

All we had was the student union with 500 students crowded in to watch Max Smart ....

Oh, and there was that big old wooden house that burned down.

Not so fast. Dogs are stress relievers. My wife visits nursing homes with our registered therapy dog. Dog loves it, patients respond. What’s not to like?

If this Victimology Trend is not stopped, twenty years from now, you will read about “Sex Workers with a Heart of Gold”
being bussed in to assist needy students. They will be prescribed by School Counselors and paid for by government grants or local tax proposals.

"...The University of North Carolina-Wilmington..."

Can't wait to hear what Michael Adams might have to say about this stupidity!

Let them, if they must. Pendulums swing. When they have enough of it, they will stop. I wonder what would happen if a pastor or lay Christian showed up to serve at one of these comfort stations, offering to bless people to success?

Picturing an infantilized workforce for the next generation, as well as these people raising kids of their own, makes me need a puppy.

Sounds to me like long before that, why can’t Christians get involved, volunteering for missions of blessing?

I see a door wide open here, but there’s so much jeering going on that everyone’s distracted.
