Yale prof coddles delicate snowflake students upset by Trump win, allows them to skip midterm exam

“Oh, the horror! This can’t be happening! Donald Trump can’t be the next president.” That was the cry heard ‘round the world on Tuesday from delicate snowflakes (formerly known as college students) at Yale University (formerly known as an institute of higher learning).

Some were so upset at the result and in such utter despair over Hillary Clinton’s loss that through tears, the students asked their professors for permission to skip midterm exams. Amazingly, it worked!

One unnamed economics professor easily caved in to give these distraught students, who have clearly not heard the word “no” enough in their lives, exactly what they wanted:

The wussification of America is complete.

Maybe we can look on the bright side and realize that the Econ midterm was no probably useless anyway. No doubt full of models of how the government takes money from hard working people and redistributes to people who did not earn it.  Or maybe they missed the test about what to do when they run out either print some more or tax businesses at a higher rate until their go out of existence.

But are we actually allowing this to happen in America? Do they not know that when they have a job in the real world that asking for the day off so they can cry in their pillow after an election that didn’t go their way will leave them jobless? This is pitiful.

Another plea went campus-wide wide asking for delays for exams in other departments even BEFORE the final election results were tabulated. They didn’t even know the winner and they were already triggered:

Emotional Toll

Given the stressful path of the results of the election thus far, regardless of the outcome, the majority of the student body at Yale will be emotionally distraught and distracted tomorrow, and our performance on the midterm will be hindered massively. Is there nay hope of postponing the exam to preserve the sanctity and mental health of students in this class? Even though the midterm is more about application than fact recall, I am fairly confident that it will be nearly impossible for anyone to focus tomorrow morning… Please consider such an act of kindness.

How about, “No?” And, thankfully, the request was vetoed by the biology professors it was directed toward. At least there is some sanity left at Yale.

These students better get a grip. If they are worried about the future of America now, wait until these types are unleashed into leadership positions. The Oval Office will surely be turned into a safe space where top leaders meet daily to lie in the fetal position and suck their thumbs until the trouble passes.
