When these little snowflakes get out of college & find a job-—they will be in a new world. Those employers won’t give them an ‘instant vacation’ because they wish to walk away from their jobs & go protest ANYTHING.

I have had more than one conversation with parents & grandparents who think their children are so special & that they will succeed out of school. I tell them that IF they have been getting grades ‘on the curve’ & have been given ‘trophies for participation’ & have had mommy & daddy & grandparents buying everything & doing everything for them all their lives——
The real test will come in the first week ON A JOB.

That employer isn’t your relative—They want the job done & they are NOT going to give your little snowflake a pass...

That employer has a business to run.

That employer cannot pamper your little kid & infuriate the rest of the employees. Really bad for morale.

That employer doesn’t need a building full of snowflakes.

IF your little snowflake cannot cut the mustard, they won’t have a job longer than a week.

No wonder so many are working at McDonald’s. Even there, they are beyond useless.

Waaaaaaah!

You should have told us in advance that if we didn’t complete our work we would fail! Not fair!

Big news.

I would have gone 1 step further and SUSPENDED this group right here for 1 Month.

“The petition reportedly garnered 1,300 signatures.”

SUSPEND ALL OF THEM.

However,’a dog ate my homework’ and my ‘grandfather died.. again’ is still an acceptable excuse.

I'm a staunch conservative, but if I had had such an opportunity to hide poor coursework by protesting conservatives, I would have jumped at the chance.

Anything for a day off. At that age, anyway.

These brats aren't motivated by political ideology. This is all a ploy for partying and not answering for it.

My first two degrees were earned at private Christian colleges. Not only would they have not pardoned my failures, they also would have expelled all offending students.

Just like the rest of the left, they didn’t understand that they are supposed to do their job. It’s not okay to skip looking for a job because you have welfare. It’s not okay to skip school work because you want to throw a tantrum. This is the real world, and results matter. I love it when losers get what they deserve.

I graduated in 1969 from a small city college with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. The lowest math class offered was Math 132, remedial algebra, which was a no credit class. The first math class which offered credit was Math 181, calculus. What they give college credits for now is shocking. Worked with someone who got credit for taking a class in “how to get a job”.

But we are doing better as a nation now because more people are getting college degrees./s

These raging snowflakes are getting a life lesson about actions and consequences. When they find out that the teachers who encouraged them into those actions will face no consequences they’ll also get a bonus lesson on making decisions based on questionable information.

If they felt that strongly about Trump, SHOULDN’T they be willing to make some personal sacrifice taking a stand?? So they want to oppose him, so long as it doesn’t cost them anything. Impressive.

And will they be caving with heartfelt apologies and groveling when someone calls them racist?

Oberlin? Hard to believe they wouldn’t be awarding automatic A’s and maybe even diplomas for rioting students. In fact, it’s hard to believe a liberal school like Oberlin even continues to have a grading system, since anything less than an A might harm a student’s self-esteem.

Ohio Ping!!

Anti-Trump millennial snowflakes who skipped class to go protest the outcome of the presidential election just got some really bad news. Patriots across America, we now have proof common sense is still alive on at least one college campus!

Oberlin College in Ohio is not excusing students who skipped classes and exams to go protest against President-Elect Donald Trump. Failing grades due to missed work during the semester due to protesting, will not be suspended, Cleveland.com reports.

Please let me know if you want on or off the list.

Bit of a surprise it was Oberlin, but at some point the profs are going to take it as personally insulting when students announce proudly that they have better things to do than attend the classes the profs are teaching and that they want credit for them anyway. Actually, I know quite a few profs like that. Damn near all of them, in fact.

Then there's Evergreen...

The main problem with being a snowflake is that you are bound to melt away.
