How overparenting in America has created a generation of snowflakes

Via Marketwatch

‘Give childhood back to kids so that they do what they most need to do, which is develop the skills of being an independent adult. Remember that the job of a parent is to work him or herself out of a job.’

That’s author and NYU professor Jonathan Haidt talking to the Big Think blog about how parenting changed [for the worse] in the 1990s and where exactly he believes we took a wrong turn when it comes to raising our children.

He says that when he toured the country to promote his book, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” he would always ask audiences the age when their parents allowed them to go outside and play without supervision.

The over-40 set would invariably answer between 5 years old and 8 eight years old. The under-25 group would say 12 to 16. Yes, 16 years old.

Racist Note Left On Kansas Student’s Door… Was Written By Himself

Via ZeroHedge

Kansas State University students were horrified after a student posted a picture of a racist note on the door frame of his home at Jardine Apartments. The note read, “Beware n***ers live here! Knock at your own risk.”

Immediately the calls went out (metaphorically speaking) to track down any Trump-supporters, MAGA-hat-wearers, or generally right-leaning members of the student community who MUST have been guilty of this horrible act.

Complaint Forces High School Cheer Team to Accept All Applicants

Via Louder with Crowder

Conservatives often rant about participation trophies and lowering standards. Rewarding academic achievement is an affront to dumb kids. Lady Marines can’t do pull-ups, so pull-up tests have to go bye-bye.

This story takes all of that stuff to a new level. A girl didn’t make the cheer team at her high school. Normally, a person would go train harder, then try again next year. Or accept that cheering isn’r them. Because sometimes life isn’t fair and reality is a bitch. That was then. This is 2018. Mom squealed to the administrators at the school. Now, the cheer team has to accept anybody who tries out. I kid you not:

COMMON SENSE – 2017 (PART TWO)

In Part One of this article I explored Thomas Paine’s critical role in the creation of our nation. His Common Sense pamphlets inspired the common people to uncommon acts of courage and heroic feats of valor; leading to the great experiment we call the United States of America. Paine, Franklin and the other Founding Fathers produced a republic, if we could keep it.

John Adams championed the new Constitution precisely because it would not create a democracy, as he knew a democracy “soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.” Their herculean efforts, sacrifices, and bloodshed have been for naught as we allowed our republic to devolve into a democracy and ultimately into our current corporate fascist warfare/welfare surveillance state. Sadly, we were unable to keep the republic Franklin and his fellow revolutionaries gave us.

“From the errors of other nations, let us learn wisdom.” – Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Some might contend Paine’s Common Sense arguments against a despotic monarchy two and a half centuries ago, with an audience of two and a half million colonists, couldn’t be pertinent today in a divided nation of 325 million people. But when you examine the events, actions and catalysts inspiring Paine to pen Common Sense, you see the parallels with the events, decisions and facilitators of our current Crisis.

Yale Professor Cancels Exam for Snowflake Students Distraught at Election Result

Via Heatstreet

Liberal students across the nation watched in shock as Donald Trump clinched victory from Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States.

But some wiped their tears, and pulled themselves together enough to ask their professors to cancel their exams because they were so upset by the results.

And one Yale economics professor heard the cry, and decided to protect his snowflake charges by making the test optional.

He wrote to them saying: “I am getting many heartfelt notes from students who are in shock over the election returns” and “fear, rightly or wrongly for their families” and are “requesting that the exam be postponed.”

Universities Ban Politically Incorrect Halloween Costumes

In a latest measure to create a “safe space” for students, a number of universities have issued “costume protocol,” banning such un-PC Halloween costumes as Arab turbans, feathered Indian headdresses, Japanese Geisha outfits, and Caitlyn Jenner costumes.

Brock University in Ontario, Canada, for instance, has set up a website laying out its “Halloween Costume Vetting Protocol,” complete with a list of offending costumes and pictures of inappropriate wear.

In a twisted bit of illogic, the university stated, “In order to create an inclusive and diverse environment, some costumes may be denied.”Apparently, inclusive and diverse here means “if your costume is too diverse, you will not be included.”

“If a member of your party is denied entry because of their costume, they will be escorted to a space where they can change or remove the offending item,” according to the protocol. “They will not lose their place in line during this process, and can enter Isaac’s once the costume has been deemed appropriate by team of Isaac’s Bar and Grill Management and Student Justice Centre Staff.”

As one disturbed commenter wrote, “Obey the Thought Police. Welcome to 1984.”

U of Florida offers 24/7 counseling for students ‘troubled’ by Halloween costumes

The University of Florida wants students to know that if they’re offended or scared by Halloween, there’s counselors on hand to walk them through the traumatic experience.

“October brings fall weather and Halloween,” the university wrote in a blog titled “Halloween Costume Choices” posted to its website Monday.offensivehalloween

“If you choose to participate in Halloween activities, we encourage you to think about your choices of costumes and themes. Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions,” it continues. “Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people.”

The university then urges students to keep their costumes in check in the name of inclusion and diversity.
