Universities went mad.  ,
They charge kids large sums of money before making them feel bad.
The Coddling of the American Mind is a new video that I’ve created in my new film. It eloquently suggests that today’s youth are anxious and depressed as a result of “adult brainwashing” in their schools.

Kids like Lucy Kross Wallace at Stanford.
” I was anxious”, she says. ” I felt criminal regularly. I don’t quit thinking about the white luxury thing”.
Kimi Katiti, a student at The Art Institute of California, then declares,” I feel like I lost my life for six decades. When I was 18 years old, I had a lot of self-assurance. But in school, that disintegrated”.
Kimi, who is Black, was taught that she is a victim of “microaggressions” from white people who say things like, “You’re so articulate”, or,” Can I touch your hair” ? ,
” I began to see myself through the glass of Black and a woman”, says Kimi. ” If I see someone with their dog, for instance, and the dog’s crying, I could perceive that as a racist microaggression”.
This fresh perception began to influence every aspect of her life.
” To compete and get the best grades”, she says,” I showed how much of a victim I was in order to impress my professors”.
She didn’t think that was right, but she didn’t push up.
” I thought, I’m paying a lot, so ( they must be ) teaching me golden rules for life”.
She learned that it was essential to judge speech by liberals. Kimi joined a Online outcry that demanded that Twitter stop Ben Shapiro’s tweets.
” I would lay along, all the way through the night” looking for tweets to review. When Twitter didn’t stop Shapiro, she’d” test again, try once”.

At Stanford, Lucy was taught that Shapiro’s thoughts put” Black, brown, transgender, gay and Arab pupils at risk”.
 ,” My initial thought was like,’ This is intense, ridiculous,'” but finally she thought,” ‘ You’re wealthy, you’re white.'”
A good man, she was taught, “didn’t read to some books by bright authors or listen to the’ wrong’ style of music. I was actually torn on song because I didn’t know if that was imposition or respect”.
To become accepted, she changed the way she spoke.
” When I started to use the vocabulary… ‘ excluded, intersectional, dominant, blah, blah, blah,’ individuals only smiled a little bit more, and I started feeling like I was part of an in-group” . ,
 , A few years later, she decided she had made a blunder.
 ,” This cast of thought operations was bad and making me miserable”.
Greg Lukianoff, co-author of the book” The Coddling of the American Mind”, says” Administrators teach students… that they can be permanently harmed by words. Teaching this is not to be taught in a form or sympathetic way.
The new repression was supposed to help minority, but minority, too, are frequently punished.  ,
In the film, Saeed Malami, a Nigerian scholar, talks about making a speech at a rally.  ,
I go up it, feeling all great with myself. I was like,’ Blackness is never a body color. It’s an approach to living. If you’re light, you can be Black. If you’re Black, you can be colored or whatever…  ,’ What happened after that? Many of the folks I assumed I was close to simply stopped talking to me.

So instead of saying”, I’m no sufferer,” Malami only shut up.
” What I thought to be accurate, “he says”, I will stay in my mind, and say anything more.”
This self-censorship never merely stifles valuable discussion, it makes students unhappy.
Lucy says”, When I was a cultural justice advocate, I was tired, terrible, negative.”
” Now that I’m out of that and I’m thinking for myself,” says Kimi”, I’m little happier. I’m at serenity.”
 ” ,The Coddling of the American Mind “is a good introduction to how some of today’s schools harm students. You may find out how to enjoy the whole film at thecoddlingmovie.com.
