Thread: The Kids Aren’t Alright with Trump

And to think these sheltered protected snowflakes will have to face the real world someday. Is their employer going to give them safe places, etc.? This is ridiculous!

Full-scale campus insanity follows GOP victory, 'cry-ins,' counseling, canceled exams

Mass hysteria has gripped college campuses nationwide following Donald Trump’s victory in the election.

An uninformed observer could easily mistake the dramatic scenes unfolding at America’s universities — ranging from walkouts to protests to candlelight vigils — for the aftermath of a major traumatic event.

Safe spaces have been erected and counseling has been offered. But these students are reacting not to a national tragedy or emergency, but merely to the election of Donald Trump.

North Carolina State University is offering a number of “conversation spaces” with staff and counselors available for support. “While the election is over, many of us will continue to process it for the foreseeable future,” wrote Dr. Mike Mullen, vice-chancellor and dean of the university.

"With that said, I'd like for all of you to know that we are committed to supporting our students, staff and faculty during this time." In addition to the numerous counseling sessions, the university is holding several programs, including a lecture on the topic of "Why Donald Trump Won."

The New School in New York City is also holding an event at which students can "process feelings in a community space." The event is being held in the Baldwin Rivera Boggs Social Justice Hubb.

Another "community gathering" occurred at the New School's Kerrey Hall dorm on Wednesday evening. It was "a space to process and reflect the election outcome," according to an email from RA Victoria Tamez.

At Yale — yes, that Yale — an unidentified professor made a midterm exam optional lest his precious students suffer needless emotional and academic suffering.

"I am getting many heartfelt notes from students who are in shock over the election results … The ones I find most upsetting are those who fear, rightly or wrongly, for their own families," he wrote.

Indeed, if this letter — and social media — are any indication, there are indeed a number of people who feel that Trump's win means an impending apocalypse.

This may be why students at Cornell — another respectable Ivy League university — held a "cry-in" in response to Trump's victory. Say what you want about the radical commie college kids of the 1960s, but at least they had some emotional stamina.

"I'm quite terrified, honestly," one student who participated told the Cornell Daily Sun. "It's saying that people are really given into fear-mongering." Of course, the only people giving into fear-mongering are those who think Trump's win heralds the destruction of society.

At Columbia University, multiple midterms were reportedly rescheduled. "As of Wednesday night, at least a dozen midterm examinations had been rescheduled, with professors either preemptively sending emails to students notifying them that midterms would be postponed or agreeing to postpone exams following student requests and pressure from several student councils," reported the university's Columbia Daily Spectator. "Student councils and student petitions advocated class cancellations in addition to midterm extensions," the paper also reported.

While all of this behavior is utterly disgraceful and entirely inappropriate for serious academic institutions, it should not be surprising. Indeed, what we are seeing can only be described as a sort of temporary psychosis, as Trump's victory shattered the ideological illusions of America's heavily indoctrinated and emotionally immature students.

It's the simple response of weak, unintelligent, spoiled people to a simple election process. Can you imagine how they would behave in a real life or death competition, like war? Please deliver US from these ignorant, stupid and weak people and totally silly institutions who are teaching and encouraging all of the above.

Everyone of them who is not a citizen and still deportable needs to be and must be removed from this country.

And this is the United States.

We control what happens here. -- Judy

These whiny losers most of whom probably shouldn't even be in our country to begin with are a threat because they are a liability, a threat feigning as a weakness.

Cornell holds a "cry-in," Tufts offers arts and crafts

Colleges throughout the country are offering students a variety of therapeutic activities after Donald Trump was elected president on Tuesday night.

The Wall Street Journal highlighted a number of examples from across the country.

Students at Cornell University gathered to hold a “cry-in” with students drinking hot chocolate and using tissues handed out by school staff. The University of Kansas announced that it would regularly bring in therapy dogs to campus while Tufts University had arts and crafts on hand.

Such initiatives have immediately attracted criticism for students being too emotional over the election results and unable to withstand disappointment. Schools defended the gentle treatment by saying that students have real concerns about Trump’s presidency.

Some teachers even cancelled classes so that students could “recover,” the Journal reported.

Still, Alan Peel, an astronomy lecturer at the University of Maryland canceled a test scheduled for Wednesday morning, writing to students that he worried some of their performances may be affected by “the monumental effort necessary to accept what must be a personally threatening election result.”

He opened the message, “Given that the nation in which you currently reside decided last night to elect a president whose own words have painted him a moral and possibly physical hazard to many of us …,” according to a copy reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.

Julia Abraham, a 19-year-old student in the class, said she was relieved by the news and supported her professor’s decision. “Our class is very diverse,” she said, including “many who are directly targeted by Mr. Trump.” She said she thought “a bit of grieving time” would allow students to perform better on the test down the line.

When a teacher at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education told his 11 doctoral students that class was optional the next day, six said they were not coming.

Yeah, well, anyone betting on that generation to save our country, better bet again. We have to do this, because they aren't capable.
