Emory Students Afraid of Chalk
We have reached a point where college students needs to be told to put their toys away, brush their teeth and go to bed. Stop crying, whining and complaining, and eat your vegetables. College students today are behaving like small children instead of adults, and this will only lead to failure in their future, and ours.
This childish behavior has been seen at schools in PAC12, Ivy League, SEC, and pretty much everywhere to some extent. Safe zones, and complains about free speech being a hate crime. At the University of Missouri a journalism professor tried to stop a journalist from covering a protest on campus.
Colleges have gone off the deep end. For more than a decade every politician under the sun has told young people they must go to college. Why? Colleges no longer value freedom of thought and open dialogue of opposing points of view. I would argue that no one should go to college as long the campuses are this sheltering and naïve.
Many students will graduate without ever hearing the opposite opinion or seeing writing or art that is provocative. Many will be forever ill-equipped to deal with the challenges that life presents daily to all of us. If our college students do not learn about life's challenges in a semi-controlled environment, however will they cope after graduation?
Mamas, don't let your babies go to college unless they have thicker skin.
