A group of college interns decided to petition their bosses to request more “leeway” with the strict dress code at the office. After all, it’s something they’ve learned in their special snowflake environment, where every impassioned plea receives what it demands like Pavlov’s dog. But unlike the university that kowtows to each demand, every intern that signed the petition was asked to turn in their IDs, gather their belongings, and leave the premises immediately. That moment began the necessary, yet oftentimes bumpy, transition into the real world. As PJ Media reported, one of the distraught interns anonymously sought out an advice columnist to ask how he might get the company to reconsider its decision. However, the columnist wasn’t sympathetic and informed him that bullying someone to get something you don’t deserve has no place in a professional working environment — and certainly not from interns! Blinded by their own zeal for fairness, the interns made an even worse mistake. See, they didn’t think it was fair that one of the paid employees was allowed to walk around in footwear that went against the stated dress code while everyone else had to comply. Unfortunately, there was a very important reason why this allowance was made: We were shocked. The proposal was written professionally like examples I have learned about in school, and our arguments were thought out and well-reasoned. We weren’t even given a chance to discuss it. The worst part is that just before the meeting ended, one of the managers told us that the worker who was allowed to disobey the dress code was a former soldier who lost her leg and was therefore given permission to wear whatever kind of shoes she could walk in. You can’t even tell, and if we had known about this we would have factored it into our argument. What else is there to say? What more proof is needed to show that progressivism and never hearing the word “no” has ruined an entire generation?
