Classes that aren\u2019t canceled have been moved away from campus and faculty and staff have been ordered to take the entire week off, or at the very least, \u201cmaintain essential services with the fewest number of staff physically on the campus,\u201d as is written in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>A safe space is being provided by the school\u2019s Social Justice Institute in the basement of a campus building for those who remain on campus while the Republicans are attending the convention. Counseling has also been ordered for students who want to express their feelings about \u201crecent events\u201d (police shootings?) or the convention.<\/p>\n<p>Another ridiculous reason the snowflakes are melting is due to the fact that extra police officers are being allowed to live on campus in the dorms so they are nearby to work the convention. One anonymous professor flew off the handle complaining that the dorms are turning into \u201cground zero for the storm troopers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were also demands aimed at the \u201coccupying\u201d officers, as well. Some dorm residents asked to be moved to alternate housing for the week, fearing the \u201cracist and homophobic\u201d police, as noted at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.truthrevolt.org\/news\/snowflakes-afraid-police-presence-during-convention-force-university-provide-counseling-safe\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">TruthRevolt<\/a>. The students also wanted the officer\u2019s weapons to be stored away from campus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">And no one in the administration ever said, \u201cNo.\u201d Instead, they capitulated to each request. Apparently at $60k a pop, they\u2019ll do anything for their student body, except teach them how to act like grown-ups.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Run to your safe space!
