America's college kids are a bunch of mollycoddled babies

John Hames shared with you:   America's college kids are a bunch of mollycoddled babies politico.com - It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry over the demand by U.S. college students for "trigger warnings" to alert them that something they're about to read or see in one of their classes might traumatize them—apparently a new trend, according to the New York Times. Ditto for off-beat campus sculptures, placards displayed by protesters and more. Poor dears. These are the same kids who would riot in the streets if their colleges asserted any form of in loco parentis when it comes to such old-fashioned concerns as inebriation and fornication. God forbid they should be treated as responsible, independent adults! After all, they're old enough to vote, to drive, even (though it's unlikely) to join the army. Available on the App Store.
