The education (or lack thereof) of snowflakes should cause We the People to demand laws that they show competency to raise a family, or have their tubes tied. When they want kids, they apply for a license to breed.

Look at how jacked-up the message has gotten. Back when we were kids, it was “do something with yourself”. It didn’t even really matter what. If you’re the small-town barber, do your best at that. Now kids are being told that the best thing they can do with their life is to be a ward of the state. At age 19, I’d go blow my brains out before doing that. Of course, nowadays, there’s a good segment that says that I did exactly that because I was in the military from age 19-25.

I had a student file an "Incident Report" on me this week. Here's the top of the web form:

Incident Report Form: Please report any incident whereby you and/or someone else is injured physically or emotionally, or damage occurred to XX University property or to your personal property on XX University's premises. Please file this report immediately after the incident. Please print upon completion.

Here's his complaint with spelling errors:

I understand there are grading issues. The professor went out of town prior to comclusion of week three assignments. He did not grade week 3,4, or 5 until he came back on Saturday end of week 5. This was a Capstone Thesis course. EVERY paper submitted for grading depended on his comments for corrections. Comments week 3 could be applied to week 4, and week 5. All papers were to be added to Theseis due that Friday. I could not add them until he finished and I had incredible decreased grades from those papers he should have graded so I could fix issues.
His claim is a lie. There was a grading delay only on week three. The was because his papers were so bad that I had to refer him to our Writing Center.

I had to answer to the Assistant Dean. My offense? I gave him a 93% on a paper.

Now the kicker. The guy is a liberal, New Yorker, US Army Vet, and 60 years old.

The snowflake phenomenon has spread to all ages.

“Snowflake” is just a short and handy version for “Emotionally crippled social misfit who sees his sickness as a problem with everyone else”.

I appreciate your nightmare.

I’m a high school teacher. My aviation class was asked to step outside for a quick quiz about cloud formations, visibility, and wind. It was about 10 degrees, light snow, nothing that any of these Alaskan kids aren’t used to. I described myself as a fat old man who had insulation naturally preventing me from getting cold, and I used the phrase “painfully skinny girls” while asking students to go outside for a few seconds.

One of those girls cried for a night, and her mother and her aunt want to bring me to the teacher standards and practices commission and get me fired for hurting the feelings of the student. Fortunately my principals are playing defense for me. We have a parent conference next week.

I’ve been in this profession for 22 years, and plan on retiring as soon as I get to my 25th year. My superintendent and I talked about this incident, and he told me that he spends every day worrying about saying the wrong words to someone.

Retirement sounds really appealing right now. It’s a shame, too - I like this career, I’m good at it, and I’ve had a good run. In a normal world, I’d be doing this until they slip me into the cold earth. But right now, I don’t care.
