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.
It’s 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 they’d have to live in a country where their president would not be the president that they wanted. And it’s 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.

Chill, everybody!
Hillary has been awarded a participation certificate.
A nice choice of word.
Suggest we set these snowfakes to building the wall now!
Ding Dong PC is dead!
are they all upset because someday they will have to work for a living and not have all three summer months off?
I’m in higher Ed.
Just before reading this I got a note from a colleague asking if I would cover her class today. She’s suffering from post-election syndrome.
This is real!
Now that's funny! ... and oh so appropriate, bravo! Other than watching the Clinton supporters cry Tuesday night at the headquarters of her failed campaign, that's the best/funniest thing I've seen/read all week.
I would be willing to bet that none of the Chinese and Indian students skipped their Chemical or Electrical Engineering classes.
Did you laugh maniacally and say “No”?
Tell them that no matter what, life will go on almost exactly as before for most of them
If anything their future will be brighter with better job prospects and a booming economy if Trump succeeds (as OUR side believes)
If you are able to convince them to stop bawling, then ask them what the hell kind of teachers they had, that made them believe the things they did, and have so much fear they were crying.
Let;s try to turn this around and put the blame WHERE IT BELONGS- On the democrats and the education system THEY created.
And tell them, when you see things getting better (as we honestly believe they will) they should be seriously pissed at how they were lied to- by the DEMOCRATS.
This is a teachable moment
Stole it.
:D
Are they running Day Care Centers or Universities?
A true reporter might like to go to one of our “typical” universities and do an in-depth analysis of all employed by the institution. It would be interesting to see the percentage breakout of employees, what they do, etc.
I strongly suspect that the vast majority of campus funds do not go to any true academic endeavors. And that the vast majority of the so-called academic departments are not academic in any true form.
And the “students”. Ah, the “students”. A true analysis there would most probably reveal the fact that a sizable percentage of them really are not college material.
Bttt
Screw U, RINOReview.
Personally, I DO NOT believe it is all on the students, it is their designated brainwashers called “professors”.
When Obama won in 2008 and 2012 I don’t recall anyone on our side calling in sick to work because they were “traumatized” by the election. We were pissed off for a few hours and life went on. If anything, we were more pissed at McVain and Mittens for not trying to win.
My cousin is a professor at a major state university and is still posting as true the story about the muslim student being attacked in Louisiana (even though that story has been discredited). Her husband, an Indian citizen, claims to be too scared to go to his job as a college professor at a different university.
