America’s privileged students at elite colleges and universities continue to be traumatized by speech they find “hurtful” and “threatening.” Last November at Yale it was a faculty email suggesting that students should lighten up on policing Halloween costumes for racial insensitivity. At the University of Missouri, some students were offended by the administration’s failure to investigate and punish alleged racial slurs. A Harvard student recently told FOX News’ Meghan Kelly that displaying the American flag in a dorm room or just being in the same class with a pro-life student is hurtful and insensitive.

NOt just in the USA. My thread from yesterday evening: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3417747/posts
Sad but true.

I like that...”Snowflakes”
These millennials are so wacky that labeling them Snowflakes might be just the trick to snap them out of their superiority complex.
Exactly why do you think the military used to want 18-20 year olds.?...because there were easier to train/mold.
That’s exactly what I think. I hear calls that they will have to change once they are in the “real world”. No, we have no assurance that they won’t try to impose their tyrannies from their student days on the “real world”. How else have at least half the tyrannies and lunacies being inflicted upon us now come about? Many were born in the petrie dish of a university.
And the AA students-how many of them come from the ghetto and know the difference between a real threat to their lives or well-being, and the tyranny of “triggering” they’re imposing upon people they want to dictate to, to take them down to their level?
I’m stealing that.
I don’t think “snowflakes” fully captures who they are. Yes like snowflakes they come across as fragile little things, but unlike snowflakes they manage to bully society into submission like an avalanche.
I like crybullies better. It captures both sides of their nature.
My Socialist sister was so excited when this happened. Her son finally graduated college at 25, is unemployed and lives in the family home. He recently turned 26 and doesn’t care that he now has no health insurance. He can’t be bothered to look for a job as his dad, also in the family home, just gives him money. She and I have argued, over the years, about how Socialism really is......I guess she’s finally experiencing some of it. I am sad for her, but we rarely talk much anymore.
I wonder how these snowflakes would have survived the liberal college campus of the mid to late 1960s - their grandparents school.
Riots, police presence, Kent State and all of the student radical take overs. hen failing out of college meant most men faced a trip to Vietnam at government expense.
Oh excuse me. The colleges of today are the direct results to the student radicals who discovered that they had no jobs once they graduated. So, they went back to school and became department heads and administrators.
I’m glad I went to a private Catholic college, these people are embarrassing. At least I can say that there weren’t too many snowflakes where I went to school.
That’s OK I got it from pookie18’s post this morning.
They’d have a legitimate mental breakdown if they were around me.
Love it: “Little Fascists.”
I’ve often used the term, “Socioeconomic Fascists” for Leftwingers.
We need to win the war of words by calling people for what they are. Democraps have mastered a cowardly war of words with flower terms forever (e.g. “Affirmative Action” is actually “State-sanctioned racism” packaged much like a polished turd).
I find it hard to believe that ONLY, “30% smoke the stuff regularly”.
The word you need is “crybullying”
Back in the 70’s I know it was higher but I have also heard that the skunk weed these days is so debilitating that many have stopped smoking.
Excellent!
Yep.
