So, Donald Trump won the presidential election, and colleges and universities around the country are predictably canceling classes and exams because students are predictably too devastated to be able to do their schoolwork.
Its everywhere. A professor at University of Michigan postponed an exam after too many students complained about their very serious stress. Columbia University postponed midterms, a Yale University professor made an exam optional, a University of Iowa professor canceled classes and a University of Connecticut professor excused class absences all because their students just absolutely could not function knowing that theyd have to live in a country where their president would not be the president that they wanted. And its not even just the students a University of Rochester professor canceled all of his meetings with students the day after the election because he decided he just could not bear to talk about it with them.
Reading all of these stories, I really have to wonder: Do any of these people realize that this kind of behavior is exactly why Donald Trump won? The initial appeal of Donald Trump was that he served as a long-awaited contrast to the infantilization and absurd demands for political correctness and safe spaces sweeping our society, and the way these people are responding is only reminding Trump voters why they did what they did.

Now, keep in mind that I say all of this as someone who is not a Donald Trump supporter, and someone who, as a woman, is taking it personally as well. But guess what? I went to work.

If I was back in college now, I would be so glad that this is happening. You see, I’d be out looking for a job and establishing myself at the same time as these snowflakes. And I would eat their lunch.
Can't wait until these cupcakes get out into the workplace and they are FIRED for crying and refusing to work because a steady diet of work upsets them.
No doubt. If we were the racists they say we are, how would we have reacted to Obama’s wins?
Our pubic school teachers and single day-care soccer moms have raised a generation of pussies. They can’t ever lose, or they go into hissy fit spastic spitting fits. Acting their mental age.
Tell me this is not a hard science or engineering class. Please.
The real reason Hillary lost is because Madonna didn’t give enough BJ’s.
There are no participation awards for politics.

Nope - not hard sciences.
Perfect comment!
Here’s another new word to describe what used to be Colleges and Universities...
“INDOCTRINARIUMS”
I think it is a good description. Anyone who wants to use it.. be my guest
I’d be surprised if any of these events involved engineering majors.
Give the student zero for missed work and send the whiney ass home.
Like a scene from THE TROJAN WOMEN.
I would LOVE to see that.
I haven’t read the article yet, but what a FANTASTIC TITLE!!!
Brilliant. Stealing it!
Suggest we set these snowfakes to building the wall now!
We have become a society where our kindergartners are more capable than the adults who are studying at Yale.
I sent an email to his teacher who said she knew about it but that she told the class “to my knowledge Trump hasn’t said anything like that”.
I just let it go. I know it’s not part of anything ongoing, and I am choosing not to make an issue out if it. I’m just mentioning it here to show how pervasive the problem-thinking really is.
Buying her presence at your award ceremony has been severely discounted.
