Despair over Clinton's loss prompts ‘cry-in’ at Cornell; Play-Doh for the distraught

Dozens of students at Cornell University gathered on a major campus thoroughfare for a “cry-in” to mourn the results of the 2016 presidential election Wednesday, with school staff providing tissues and hot chocolate.

At Tufts University, arts and crafts were on offer. And the University of Kansas reminded students via social media of the therapy dogs available for comfort every other Wednesday.

Colleges nationwide scrambled to help students process Republican Donald Trump’s stunning election victory. They’re acknowledging that many students were up late watching results and so may not be at their sharpest in early-morning lectures. More so, they’re responding to a widespread sense of shock and despair on campuses to the victory of a candidate who offended Mexicans, Gold Star mothers, Muslims and the disabled during the course of the campaign.

But if Hillary had won, your Trump spporting students would have still been gracious to the others. Thats the huge difference.

And even if they were, back then College was a pansy liberal safe space. Hell, 40-50 years ago, Ithaca was still a republican town.

Until about the late 1960's, colleges expected you to actually learn something and perform academically. Now they just peddle Cultural Marxist ideology and provide permanent infants with safe spaces and grade inflation.

Which reminds me.

My 93 Year Old Father just passed away two weeks ago.
In WWII he served in the Navy in the South Pacific.

He was on a Military Tug whose Job was to pull disabled Landing Craft off the Beach during the Island Invasions while under Enemy Fire.

My Old Man was a tough cookie God Bless him.

People need to do what I did this morning.

I called the alumni association of the college where I got my undergraduate degree, told them to remove me from their mailing list and why - snowflake coddling & counseling because Trump won. Did the same for where I got Mt masters and my PhD. Also told them where I work we hire adults not sniveling children!

Yes all three institutions had their “counseling areas for disappointed Hellary-philes”.

Everybody needs to do this! That’s how this nonsense stops!
