College Students Given Coloring Books & Play Doh to Help ‘Cope’ With Trump’s Victory


Today, some of the best and brightest young Americans run and hide, riot and destroy, and post videos of themselves sobbing because a free and open election didn’t turn out their way.

Cocooned in echo chambers where they are exposed only to ideas and beliefs that reflect their own, shielded from rigorous intellectual debate, coddled by university administrators who provide “safe spaces” where they can hide from a single surname written in chalk, and indulged by cowed professors who cancel exams in deference to their delicate emotionstoday’s students are unable to discern the difference between disappointment and the end of the world.

In the wake of the surprise victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump, universities saw themselves not as a forum for debate or even protest, but as babysitters charged with comforting students who were unable to deal with reality.

Tufts University made an arts and crafts center available.

The University of Kanas invited therapy dogs to campus for comfort.

The University of Michigan had a play area with coloring books.

Cornell hosted what it termed a “cry-in” where faculty and staff handed out hot cocoa and tissues.


Thank God the fate of the free world, including the liberation of a continent, didn’t hinge on the response of young men and women who – although old enough to marry, sign contracts, pilot a plane, give consent for surgery, open a bank account, buy a home, donate blood, learn to skydive and apply for their own passport – prefer to remain children rather than take their place as adults in a world where sometimes things just don’t go as planned.

These are the same people that wanted Hillary, who wanted to initiate the draft immediately, for men, women and transsexuals in that age bracket.

Wait till they get a load of the enemy.

Butt hurts, or gut hurts, that is the question! tears

This is what happens when you teach an entire society that 'feeling' are the only things that matter. Bunch of whiny, wimpy, brats that don't know how to deal with disappointment (why would they? They hand out trophies for just showing up)

Well, the students should read fine print first because there is one stipulation that they may not agree with:

All students MUST take a 1 hour nap after cookies & milk

yes, just the way to prepare for the real world.. coloring and playing with play doh.

When things get hot at the job.. when things at work are tough, they can just retire to a corner somewhere and whip out their coloring book.

make sure not to color outside the lines, now.

Seems better than what was mentioned before:
riot and destroy, and post videos of themselves sobbing

If all the protestors and rioters called the police ahead of time and said "we're going to occupy wall street, loot and riot and shoot cops, and menace the internet....unless you give us some coloring books, some play doh, and some hot chocolate..." would you be all "f you! We don't negotiate with terrorists!" or "That's all they want? That will appease them and then they'll just go back to normal? Well, okay, coloring books and playdoh and hot chocolate is fine."

prefer to remain children rather than take their place as adults

IMO they don't "prefer" to remain children, they're simply the product of a crappy education system and crappy parents.

They're children because they were never taught how not to be, and it was never demanded from them.

I mean
just the way to prepare for the real world

Theoretically, kids should be "prepared" for the real world at least by the end of 8th grade.

Colleges and Universities now have to offer or mandate what are essentially remedial courses in things like how to write a paper, professionally communicate, and/or math skills that students didn't acquire in high school or before.

Lots of parents treat k-12 as their babysitter.

With the push towards "everyone needs an education!!! Gotta go to college. Here's a student loan, education education education!" you are simply making college an extension of compulsory k-12.

Colleges and Universities are responding to the role they are being forced into by the failure of parents and a compulsory gov't run education system.

This is what happens when you teach an entire society that 'feeling' are the only things that matter.

This is what happens when you are over protective of kids.
When you say crap like "focus on your education, and career, before worrying about relationships, you've got plenty of time!"

This is what happens when you start spending more time interacting through impersonal means, via text, email, social media.
Direct relationships offer a far wider range of emotional experience, as well as direct personal feedback, and better help in properly responding to them.

This is what happens when you "think globally, act locally," and get trained to believe in concepts like "well Europe has a universal health care system that works for them, why can't we just cherry pick laws and stick that here? Australia has gun control, why can't we just adopt that system?" This is what happens when you can see news and lifestyles around the world and form a distorted potential for utopia by picking and choosing ways things "can" be without really understanding the reality of where you are and how things work.

This is what happens when people don't solidly identify with a close knit interdependent community, focusing more on patriotic nationalist identity mixed with personally chosen identity labels. e.g. "I'm a polyamourous bisexual hysgender fiscally conservative socially liberal open minded free thinking American that only focuses on logic and reason."


When you feel really sad, depressed, like life sucks and is unfair, and you're frustrated at the stupid people, alienated, disenfranchised, complete loss of control of your life, what do you do?
Go to the forums and rant about "all the stupid people" or say something like "oh, I'm just addicted to the forums!" or "ha ha this place is a mental institution, make me a sammich!"
Call your mom and say "hey, just seeing how you were, I had a tough week."
Go out with your friends and have a beer?

Those are all just your version of coloring books and play doh.
Some people don't get off on forums or see fellow forum participants as their social peers, some people don't see their family as a "safe space" for emotional sharing, possibly thinking they're bad if they try and dump their emotional problems on others by sharing.
Some people don't have friends past facebook wall posts and text messages.
And people have an extremely difficult time finding other "polyamourous bisexual hysgender fiscally conservative socially liberal open minded free thinking Americans that only focus on logic and reason."


Kids in college that need coloring books and safe spaces and play doh are victims but only so much as a dog that was repeatedly beaten so attacks everyone around them is a victim.
You should feel bad for them being the way they are, but you can't use kid gloves anymore.
It's just against the law to do to them what actually needs to be done.
So, best to just kick the can down the road (like what probably happened to them in k-12 as they didn't have to learn) and throw some coloring books and playdoh their way until they're someone else's problem.

That seemed to have worked for the African American community.
Ignore the problems, kick the can down the road through minimally placating gestures, until there's no solution left except breaking the law, then let the police handle it.

That's the American way!

Iowa lawmaker tells Trump protesters to “Suck it up, Buttercup” 

http://wqad.com/2016/11/14/iowa-lawmaker-tells-trump-protesters-to-suck-it-up-buttercup/ 

WILTON, Iowa -- 

Iowa Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, (R) Wilton, is borrowing a saying for disgruntled farm hands to describe legislation aimed at anti-Trump protests. 

"I have named the bill, 'Suck it up, Buttercup'," he said on Monday, November 14, 2016. 

It's inspired by recent gridlock on Interstate 80 when drivers had to wait it out during a post-election protest. 

The proposal is grabbing national attention and requests for interviews, sparking thousands of online comments. 

"You've got a right to be a brat," he said.  "You've got a right to protest, that's constitutionally protected.  But you do not have a right to throw a temper tantrum on I-80 and put my constituents' lives in danger." 

Kaufmann wants the House Oversight Committee to clarify state laws and look into fining Iowa colleges for any tax dollars spent on so-called "Cry Rooms" for students upset over the election results. 

"Using our tax dollars when tuition rates are skyrocketing is absolutely unacceptable to me," he said. 

But Iowa Rep. Phyllis Thede, (D) Bettendorf, says the proposal does threaten free speech. 

"I don't want to go after somebody because they're fearful, upset or angry," she said.  "That's not what legislatures do." 

Kaufmann thinks the bill will have traction in Des Moines early in the 2017 session. 

Thede disagrees and calls it "kind of odd." 

"The legislature can be a leader," she continued.  "Not by restricting them, not by criminalizing them, but by helping them -- helping them get through the whole process." 

For Kaufmann, his farm saying could motivate A NATIONAL MOVEMENT 



People say, 'Suck it up, Buttercup, that's kind of over the top,'" he concluded.  "But so are the protests that are happening."
