America’s privileged students at elite colleges and universities continue to be traumatized by speech they find “hurtful” and “threatening.” Last November at Yale it was a faculty email suggesting that students should lighten up on policing Halloween costumes for racial insensitivity. At the University of Missouri, some students were offended by the administration’s failure to investigate and punish alleged racial slurs. A Harvard student recently told FOX News’ Meghan Kelly that displaying the American flag in a dorm room or just being in the same class with a pro-life student is hurtful and insensitive.

“America’s privileged students at elite colleges and universities continue to be traumatized by speech they find “hurtful” and “threatening.””
I think it’s more of a psychosomatic condition brought on by their previous indoctrination. They’re not ‘actually’ traumatized, they’re just under the influence of liberalism.
The problem with these “snow flakes” (lets just call them flakes) is they have never had to live in the real world, take a low paying job to get by, walk or ride a bike instead of driving that sports car, etc., etc. It’s well time for them to grow up. If people would stop listening to their whining altogether, they would eventually go away and/or shut the hell up. Note to all the snowflakes: “Live with it, OK?”
I have one question for these paper tigers.
“Are you willing to shed your own blood to
defend what you believe?”
And if they say “No.”, send them to the hospital,
but tell them you are giving them another chance,
by not sending them to the morgue.

I’m good with that. You call me snow flake. I call the slanderer N_____ or whatever appears to fit the person calling me names. Then let the fur fly!
The “snowflakes” angle is very misleading. These are not just sensitive people with easily-hurt feelings. That’s just an act. They are little fascists, using fake tears as a way of forcing others to conform with their way of thinking. They are as cold-blooded as it gets.
What many think the snowflake movement is about - from the article:
“Finally, the common perception of these students as just spoiled, immature, entitled neurotics is only partly true. The real instigators of these incidents are savvy progressive student activists who know that most faculty agree with and support them, and that most administrators are careerist invertebrates fearful of bad publicity and blowback from trustees and the media. These student Alinskyites leverage photogenic protests and marches into academic lucre in the form of more scholarships, “research centers,” and faculty hires that will expand the progressive influence over the institution, especially over curricula, hiring, programs, admission criteria, and academic policy.”
What they are really about:
MONEY
This is generated by new academic programs on snowflake issues which in turn leads to reeducation programs all of which generate still more money for the Alinski elite. Which in turn will lead to reeducation for the rest of us ... after they build the camps ...
They have also been taught to hate themselves, their country and all of the history before 1960. They were taught that religion is evil except for yoga and islam. The replacement salvation is to show everyone how diverse and inclusive they are, even at risk of harm or death to themselves.
What a sad existence for our young people.
The primary purpose of "higher education" in this country is to have colleges serve as expensive day care centers for people who are incapable of growing up.
You are spot on with your explanation. They are indeed facists to the core. Been taught that throughout their 13+ years in public school.
It’s classic left wing strategy. Start on the campuses. Who’s behind it? I know Soros is the standard scapegoat, but who starts the phone tree going when say a state like NC passes a bill?
For now that is, for now.
They are not traumatized, and it is not psychosomatic.
It is simply a fake-out by radicals. The intention is to drive non-PC thought further into the shadows. A student who doesn’t believe the way the left does previously was reluctant to share his thoughts. Now, if he thinks that simply telling people what he believes may result in demonstrations against him and the faculty and even the deans getting involved, he will simply keep his mouth shut.
Of course, this prevents him from sharing his thoughts with others who may come to agree with him, and it prevents him from refining his own beliefs through the give-and-take of constructive conversation.
Don’t believe for a minute that any people other than mentally-ill fellow-travelers are traumatized by seeing a “Trump2016” or a raised hand in a public meeting. They are not.
That’s why Obamacare was upped to 26 .Keep the children child-like to control them easier.
Says all you need.
