College offers huge group hug for post-election healing

College has become kindergarten and students favor safe spaces and trigger warnings above the free exchange of ideas. And since the election, these snowflakes are melting faster than ever before.

Rice University, the private college in Houston, Texas, was turned into a healing space in the days after Donald Trump was elected president by about 150 students who gathered to form one huge group hug to comfort one another.

“Rice is and will continue to be a safe place for you,” attendees were promised.

An organizer shouted to the crowd:

“You should be comfortable being yourself on this campus. Your voice is wanted, it is desired. Let’s spend a few moments locking arms, holding hands, and feel like one big family. We are one Rice.”

If standing in a giant circle to comfort your hurt feelings over the outcome of the American election process isn’t bad enough, there were plenty of other options from which to choose. From The College Fix:

One Rice club event scheduled Saturday aims to “actively brainstorm ideas and create solutions to ensure the safety of our fellow Americans” in the aftermath of the election. Goals for the event include increasing “mutual understanding and empathy” and to “pave a way for a new dawn.”

Rice Health Advisors, students whose role mainly consists of providing other students with cold medicine and condoms, posted their phone numbers on a Rice Facebook group in case anybody wanted to talk.

An email sent Wednesday by the Women’s Resource Center said “Please take care of yourselves in this stressful time. The WRC will be holding a destress hour at 8 pm tonight in the Women’s Resource Center office. Drink water, go for a walk, take some deep breaths.”

Members of the university’s “Queer and Allies” club received an email alerting them to resources for Rice’s Wellbeing Center and LGBT centers across Houston. The email concluded urging students to “please use whatever resources you need to process.”

It would seem these young folks didn’t hear the word “no” enough as children, evidenced by the fact that they are still acting like children. Sometimes, circumstances don’t work out in your favor and like the song says; you can’t always get what you want. Unless it’s a safe space. Rice has plenty of those, apparently.
