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.
Anti-Trump students at Oberlin College circulated a petition to urge the college to institute a “no-fail mercy period.” The petition reportedly garnered 1,300 signatures.
If the Ohio college had agreed to the demands of their snowflakes, all failing grades would be removed from their record.
The lowest possible grade a student could receive, no matter how poorly they did or how much work they missed, was a “C.”
Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov responded to the students’ petition via email on Sunday. He bluntly informed them that the college’s deans have decided not to give them any mercy period after giving the matter its due consideration.

That was exactly my take as well. If Trump is so evil, why would you not be willing to sacrifice a semester’s tuition to stop him?
Felony convict
No, the lowest grade being a ‘C’ regardless of absence or poor performance, was what the protestors were demanding.The demand was rejected.
They are considering what follow-on future government contracts or grants they will be receiving after the Kenyan leaves office. Protect the Revenue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do the crime, spend the time
And will they be caving with heartfelt apologies and groveling when someone calls them racist?
As a freshman at UCLA I did have one of those classes that was known as a guaranteed C or better for football players. There were a bunch of them in there.
Stupidity has consequences....welcome to the real world.
I had a college class...I was a freshman. Can’t remember the class, but it was in 1975. The vast majority of the class cut class to go home (next day was Thanksgiving). I think out of a class of 100, only about three of us showed up for class on Wednesday.
The prof went ahead and conducted the lecture. But the following Monday announced that of those who attended lecture on Wednesday received an A and for those who cut his class early were required to outline the entire text book and it was due that next Monday—or fail the class.
I learned early on not to cut classes! LOL
“Most grad schools grade A,B, and C only.
C is failing.”
In my grad school, if you had three classes with C’s, you were out.
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!!

Please let me know if you want on or off the list.
will they have councilors to help them overcome the sshock of this???? sigh!!
Once again, reality rears its head in fantasyland.
I just fired one. An engineer from New England. He got mad because I expected him to work. The, he got mad I didn’t want to adjust the schedule so he could ski all day. He retaliated by charging tens of thousands on the company credit card. Will be fun seeing him in court.
Getting a C in graduate school shouldn’t be there. It will end your fellowship.
Then there's Evergreen...
I agree. One should do it.
The main problem with being a snowflake is that you are bound to melt away.
