Georgetown U. provides ‘self-care suites’ for coddled students stressed about Election Day — complete with milk and cookies and coloring books
Story by Chris Nesi • 20h

Students at an elite DC university who are worried they may hear points of view they disagree with on Election Day are being offered “self-care suites’’ where they can sip hot cocoa until the scary stuff blows over.

Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy — a crucible for our nation’s next generation of elected officials and diplomats that runs a cool $61,200 per year to attend — has opened the “woke” apolitical cocoons to cater to students for whom political discourse is simply too overwhelming.

“In recognition of these stressful times, all McCourt community members are welcome to gather … in the 3rd floor Commons to take a much needed break, joining us for mindfulness activities and snacks throughout the day,” wrote Jaclyn Clevenger, the school’s director of student engagement, in an email to students and obtained by The Free Press.

Toys are being provided to give students something to think about besides Election Day. fery – stock.adobe.com
 
Inside the suites, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, students will be treated to goodies that wouldn’t be out of place at a child’s birthday party, including a Lego station, coloring books and even milk and cookies and hot chocolate — all at a comfortable remove from anything resembling debate.

If you should wonder why kids today are so screwed up, here's one BIG example.  They're too coddled.

Loss and defeat is a part of life.  There are times in life when you will lose or be defeated, but you still have to get up the next day and get on with business.  That's an important skill to acquire.

Time for them to pull up their boot straps face reality and stop feeling that they are owed and entitled and need to pull their weight.

At first I thought this was from the Bee.

These people are university students, who, in theory will be in the world running their lives in a short period of time. But they need leggos, coloring books, hot chocolate and a safe room??? wth??

This is crazy. Suck it up buttercups...life ain't always going to be what you think is fair or conforming to your desires.

Right. Maybe they should crawl under the covers until it's safe to come out.  So, when do they grow up???

What, exactly, is the benefit of treating 20-year-old college students like freakin' 5-year-olds?

Sounds like something for 8- or 9-year olds, not those 18, 19, 20...

In 1944, 18-year-olds stormed the beaches of Normandy.
Now, they color and drink hot cocoa.
