This is what happens when you don’t teach children how to achieve anything and they never learn that respect is earned by the content of a persons character. Temper tantrums and aggression only shows their lack of everything that’s important. They simply want attention and to be given everything they want and not what they’ve actually earned......a boot in the butt.
This.
And it’s not just academia, as the author correctly notes this starts with helicopter parents and at home.
I’m looking at this two ways: first it’s Liberal academia and the Left thats tearing itself apart with this. Much moreso than the GOPe-TEA Party conflict. So they can have at it.
Second, MY kids aren’t being helicopter-patented. They’re learning about success and failure, risk and reward, achievement and the need to learn and lock down tangible knowlege that provides them with tangible and marketable professional skills ... staying away from the PC nonsense.
Someday all these little SJW snowflakes will be the ones serving my kids coffee at Starbucks.
Amen to that.
