Coddling campus crybabies: Students take up toddler therapy after Trump win
Fox News ^ | November 17, 2016 | Brooke Singman

Teddy bears, Play-Doh and coloring books are staples of nursery schools, but now they are showing up on college campuses to help distraught students cope with the election of a president they don’t like.

Around the nation, students are turning to the tools of toddlers as a bizarre form of therapy in the wake of Donald Trump's election last week. Colleges and universities are encouraging students to cry, cuddle with puppies and sip hot chocolate to soothe their fragile psyches, an approach some critics say would be funny if it weren't so alarming.

“This is an extreme reaction from millennials who are being forced to come to terms with the fact that we have a president that they don’t like –this is what losing feels like,” Kristin Tate, the 24-year-old author of "Government Gone Wild," told FoxNews.com. “We are grooming our students to be sensitive crybabies when we need to be showing students how to deal with world situations and how to be adults –there are no ‘safe spaces’ in the real world.”

There's a good 4 1/2 min video at link of Tucker Carlson interviewing an Asst. Prof. from DePaul Univ that signifies what's wrong with liberal institutes of higher learning.

We need some video / images of some of this stuff so we can have some good laughs.

It’s hilarious watching them become victims of their own delusions. They bought the Hillary/MSM lies hook, line and sinker. Enjoy it, Obama Pajama Boys and Girls.

Unbelievable.

Liberalism in colleges seems to have gotten progressively worse.

I was around college campuses in both 1972, and 1988, when the Democrat pres candidates lost their elections. Liberal students then, as now, had strong feelings against those election results. However, back.in those days, they didn’t bring in play doh and therapy dogs to deal with election disappointments.

I fear we are raising a generation of inept young people.

Seriously, how many people do you think actually use these kinds of ridiculous provisions? I know these students are pussies and all, but I also know that when I was going to college (back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth), if anyone my crew knew did something like this, they would never live it down.

I'd bet they don't get half a dozen people a week coming in and asking for a coloring book and a puppy.

If only this person could channel all that anger and tantrum energy into some regular gym workouts.

They are the next generation of teachers, professors, journalists and politicians.

“This is an extreme reaction from millennials who are being forced to come to terms with the fact that we have a president that they don’t like –this is what losing feels like,”

These are college students. They are supposed to be adults already. If they can not deal with an unpleasant reality by the age of nineteen I am afraid it is too late.

Your personality is fairly well set by the age of nineteen. Certainly there will be some growth after that age but how one deals with disappointments has be pretty much set by that point.

A person may learn to hide their feelings after that if subjected to embarrassing ridicule for inordinate displays of emotion (my personal suggestion for dealing with these youths) but will probably simply vent their rage at home in private rather than put it on display.

Write "Trump Won" in chalk on college steps and watch the snowflakes melt.

All the more reason to keep your kids away from such institutions.

If i pay for my kid’s college, then i want to make sure (s)he has the best education my money can buy.

Colouring books and play-doh doesn’t get it done. That was for kindergarten not somebody about to enter a career.

Thank God that places like Grove City College still exist.

It must be contagious....I feel the same way.

These little snowflakes should be in kindergarten, not college.
