It is hard for me to put into words how pathetically silly I find the requests of college and post-grad students to postpone exams because of the “trauma” they experienced due to Grand Jury decisions in the national news. It is even harder to express how pathetic and silly it is that college and law school officials are bending to the requests of these “traumatized” students.
Look, if a family member dies during exam week or you’re literally unable to move from your bed because of the influenza (and even that excuse is a little overdone, so it should be viewed with a jaundiced eye by professors), fine. Depending on the professor, you’re likely to get some leeway since they’ve been teaching 15 years’ worth of Millennials already. However, if you wish to continue protesting a Grand Jury decision you find disturbing and find yourself emotionally and physically incapable of taking an exam, just suck it up and miss the exam and accept what you get for it. I’m sure your future employer at a public interest law firm or social justice non-profit that works only when things are going perfectly swimmingly in the news will find that charming, if you can find that employer.
But you’re more likely to find a regular employer who may find that disqualifying. And, I’d suggest it might be more disqualifying for social justice-y jobs than regular employment. You know, because social justice warriors who would like to be employed as social justice warriors should probably show an ability to do work while observing what they see as social injustice. That’s pretty much the entire job description.
Thus far, Columbia Law School has postponed some exams for students who wish to be lawyers to process this common legal function of American society....

I love that prof!
Law Student’s Request; Hi, I was reading a Facebook Entry last night. Somebody in Nova Scotia was falsely accused of both farting and singing in her sleep by her Boyfriend. Her Boyfriend moved out yesterday, and I feel terrible!! Can I put off the Bar Exam till after the Christmas Break? Maybe till after Easter. When I think of that poor girl in Nova Scotia, I am in no shape whatsoever for The Oral Exam! I’m sure you will understand.
College exams were outright canceled in 1970 in the wake of student riots.
I was fortunate in that I had many professors just like him back in the day. I was also fortunate to have gone to school before the libs took over. I actually received and education sans all the political BS became vogue.
I’d fail that student and explain that I was simply correcting her white privilege.

Brainwashed nut.

When I took my state boards for my pharmacy license it was when the Challenger Shuttle went down. We learned about it during our break for lunch. I saw it happen live on the TV screen while we were eating lunch.
We were upset and saddened by what had happened. When our lunch break was over, we went back and finished the next sections of our exams.
Not relevant to the Challenger disaster but relevant to do what you have to do is one individual that was sitting for his exams. He had had an appendectomy the day before the exam, and was in great pain. He was eating pain pills and was just a little loopy. He knew if if did not take the exam he could not take it again until six months later. He toughed it out and took the exam. I do not know if he passed but I hope he did.
This little princess doesn't think very highly of her fellow black students.
SHE could study, "because she's white", but she just can't expect other students to met that ridiculously high expectation.
She's a vile white supremacist racist, and doesn't even realize it.
He’s a math prof, for students who aren’t mathematicians.
Anyhow, in that field, less is granted because of grievance.
Hey ISIS! Behold America’s weakest generation: The Millenials.
They are just potheaded fish in a barrel.
They will put up no fight against you.
