Good Grief: Universities Give Students Milk and Cookies, Cancel Classes Over Trump Victory

Nothing are leftists the world over in shock and hysterics more lonely and despondent these days than on college and university campuses. It’s understandable that the campus atmosphere these times is more than a little depressing because kids are at a time when emotions are substantial. As our institutions of higher learning are now merely education centres for Antifa, it’s apparent that the atmosphere is more than a little depressing. &nbsp,

However, faculty and administrators at colleges and universities are only making things worse by making fun of and even encouraging the students ‘ absurd grief rather than rehashing their resolve to move on. This is generally, of course, because those far-left officials and academics are just as childish as their kids.

According to The Washington Free Beacon, “disappointing professors at America’s leading colleges canceled classes, rescheduled exams, and promised to accept poor grades” after Donald Trump’s traditional election sent despair rippling across university campuses. Universities offered students butter, cookies, puzzles, Legos, and ‘ destress sessions.'”

Milk and cookies? Mysteries? Legos? Are we talking about institutes around, or about school? Even the most prestigious universities are engaging in this ridiculous grandstanding given the scientific standards of these woke organizations today. &nbsp,

I hope you are staying in it, a Columbia University professor wrote to her students. I have been think ]sic ] of you over the last few days. ]If ] you do n’t feel up for class, absences today will be excused”. In a related vein, a Barnard professor said,” I will present to change your semester Exam 2 level with your Final Exam level if better” in light of the increased stress some of you may be feeling as a result of the vote effects.”

Another doctor canceled the class because “it feels a little tone-deaf to offer” a “lecture on current voting methods and their blind places” at this time, which is yet another example of how polling can be misleading. She added a sympathetic note:” Be nice to yourselves, test in on your friends”.

Oh, sibling. It was n’t always this way. In the fall of 1980, just a few months off, there were two days when everyone was walking around looking shell-shocked and the whole school was dark calm. I lived in Chapel Hill for seven years ( four for bachelor, one acting, and two for a master’s degree ) and never saw the school as dreary and unhappy as it was on those two weeks. The first was the evening after John Lennon was killed, and the second was the day after Ronald Reagan was elected president.

Yet despite the universal grief over Reagan’s election, the university did n’t postpone exams or cancel groups, much less side out milk and cookies and Legos. The institutions were now far-left in those days, but they are still trying to maintain their reputation as free haven for all ideas. They also ( for the most part ) treated pupils as individuals. People who suggested that students should be permitted to wear underwear and colour as if they were six because Ronald Reagan had won the presidency would have laughed at the suggestion.

Today, the world is different. Even Harvard ( Harvard! ) joined in the crazy. An economics ( economics! ) teacher, friend Maxim Boycko, wrote:” As we recover from the exciting election day and approach the implications of Trump’s triumph, please understand that class will continue as common today, except that classroom quizzes will not be for credit. Feel free to take time off if needed”.

Physics ( physics! ) prof Jennifer E. Hoffman wrote:” Many in our community are sleep-deprived, again grieving for glass ceilings that were n’t shattered, fearful for the future, or embarrassed to face our international colleagues. I stress-baked several pans of lemon bars to share”. What the heck are” stress-baked” lemon bars? Can they possibly be anything but nauseating, as nauseating as all this leftist pandering?

Most embarrassing of all, “at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, one of the nation’s top schools for diplomats and policymakers, students spent Wednesday playing with Legos, coloring, drinking milk, eating cookies, and meditating”. Imagine these childish leftist clowns trying to outlaw Xi’s boys who are n’t currently coloring. &nbsp,

Meanwhile, for all their professed compassion, none of these universities has any program to aid and comfort the most marginalized and vilified group on their campus: the College Republicans, Young America’s Foundation and other patriotic groups. They’re happy this week, but just imagine what they have to endure from day to day on our elite campuses, and no one is stress-baking any lemon bars for them.

So much the better. They’ll come out of college tough and battle-hardened, ready to face down their wimpy, fragile, pajama-clad leftist former classmates in the national political arena. It will be fun to watch.
