2. Crayons, coloring, chocolate, and cuddles for Ivy Leaguers traumatized by election

Students at the University of Pennsylvania organized an event they called “Breathing Space” to help each other recover from the trauma of the election of Donald Trump. Similar events have taken place at colleges all across America but this one at an Ivy League school, no less, takes the cake.

A faculty director hosted the event and cleared the space of any television screens. Students were invited to be distracted from the news with coloring, crafts, snacks, and a small petting zoo. Daniel Tancredi spoke to The College Fix and gave them a glimpse from inside the event:

“There were actual cats and a puppy there. There were sheets of paper available with black and white printed designs on them for students to color in. Essentially they looked like pages from a coloring book that were printed from a computer. They all had positive, feel-good messages on them. Students colored them in with colored pencils.

“For the most part, students just hung out and ate snacks and made small talk. Of course, that was in addition to coloring and playing with the animals. The election was mentioned a few times, though mostly in very timid and fearful tones. The event as a whole seemed to be an escape from the reality of the election results.”

If that isn’t pathetic enough, Tancredi said some Penn professors turned their classrooms into “safe spaces” and even canceled lessons and exams to further coddle the snowflakes. It’s not all that surprising at a campus that voted 3612-375 in favor of Hillary Clinton.

So, here’s to the Class of Two Thousand and Offended. May their futures as aromatherapists be less triggering than reading the Constitution.

    Alumni of these institutions need to deliver the message by withholding donations. I would guess that some of the absurdities provoked by Title IX can be clarified by “guidance letters” from the Admin undoing the “guidance” offered by Obama’s admin. But the most effective message will come from Parents electing not to send kids to these schools and alumni electing not to support them while they remain bastions of fascist leftism.
