Young men leaving their "safe space" circa 1944.

Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness.
The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska.
In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court's decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional.
"[The assenting judges] went so far as to say that the race-based admission system uses race as a negative and operates it as a stereotype," the letter stated. "They may couch their opinion in legal jargon, but we all know what this opinion aims to do: advocate for a ‘colorblind’ admission process."
"However, as many of our students know and Justice Sotomayor says in her dissent, ‘ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal,'" the letter proclaimed.
"As a reminder, BU also offers a number of wellness resources that are willing and able to help students navigate these times."
The university's law school is not offering specialized counseling for its students, but the SGA recommended resources that are already available.
Two of the resources were BU Behavioral Medicine and BU Student Wellbeing. According to its website, BU Behavioral Medicine offers therapy, on-call service for mental health emergencies and mental health diagnoses, among other services.
The student government criticized the decision in 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis, which gave a Christian web designer the right to deny services to same-sex couples. It also condemned Biden v. Nebraska, which ruled President Biden's proposed student loan forgiveness plan was unconstitutional.

BU is the second most expensive college in the Us. 20 gs is drop in the bucket.
The Gorsuch wedding web designer decision will go down as one of the most important, profound, and powerful statements ever on the sanctity of free speech. It is a landmark decision.
I thought if you were a student in law school you learned “the law?” Silly me.

If they are going to have any success in their chosen field, these snowflakes need to toughen up. Almost anything you want to do for a client is opposed by another lawyer who is paid to stop or frustrate you. To paraphrase von Clausewitz, the practice of law is war by other means.
I don't know what's worse - people who seek these services, or the people who offer them.
I know that went the 1st amendment route, but I would think small business owners ought to have the same level of religious protection as Muslim cashiers who can’t be forced to handle alcohol in the checkout line.
These people are not going to survive the unfolding loss of civility.

And therein lies the problem s with this country. We’re inundated with pussies.
“I thought if you were a student in law school you learned ‘the law?’ Silly me.”
They teach how-to-evade-the-law is more like it.
Administrators on the other hand are about indoctrination. In this case, indoctrination is about un-learning (emptying minds) and then filling those empty minds with Leftist ideology.
What a disgraceful bunch of drama queens.
I’m glad it’s about Free Speech and a matter of personal conscious and not based on religion.
Poor babies. My generation went to Viet Nam.

If it’s law students learned law as well as AOC learned economics there, then I am not surprised.

Imagine a law student having to seek counseling after a SCOTUS decision? Worthless and weak comes to mind.
If these bastards want loan forgiveness, let them get it directly from their college.
Except the colleges are more greedy than their graduates
