Students at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy will have access to Legos, cocoa, and coloring books in a post-Election Day “Self-Care Suite.”
“In an email to McCourt students,” reports the Free Press, “Jaclyn Clevenger, the school’s director of student engagement, introduced the school’s post-election ‘Self-Care Suite.’”
“In recognition of these stressful times,” she adds, “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.”
Here’s the list of activities, and the Free Press assures us this is not made up:
  • 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.: Tea, Cocoa, and Self-Care
  • 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.: Legos Station
  • 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.: Healthy Treats and Healthy Habits
  • 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.: Coloring and Mindfulness Exercises
  • 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.: Milk and Cookies
  • 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.: Legos and Coloring
  • 5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.: Snacks and Self-Guided Meditation
As a proud member of Generation X, this blows my mind. If someone tried to treat my generation like babies in middle school we would have laughed them off the planet. This is college. This is not just college, this is Georgetown. What have we done to raise a generation that would not only stand for this, but welcome, demand, and participate in it?
I can see getting drunk. I can see lifting weights, going out for a run, or eating an entire birthday cake in front of a Married with Children marathon. We all process our disappointments in our own way. But this is beyond coddling. It’s actually sinister.
Georgetown understands that keeping young people spoiled, coddled, entitled, and psychologically incapable of dealing with anything that does not go their way ensures one thing: the forever-infantilized will forever vote Democrat.
Sure, you ruin the lives of these kids… yes, you turn them into neurotic babies with thin skins, no sense of humor, and no way to cope with setbacks, which ensures a lifetime of misery… But they will vote the way you want, and that’s all that matters.
One of the key secrets to a happy life is the ability to laugh at yourself, to shrug it off, and move on. If you can’t do that, you will live a life of misery swathed in unearned smugness. What a terrible thing that must be.

.....and how do you think we arrived here? Was it "them" or was it "us"........did you let your kids roam free like you did or did you keep tabs on them 24/7? Did you let them build that ramp and almost die, or did you talk to them and coddle them from injury? We are all to blame! Lets not act surprised we have arrived at this place! We all contributed, if we didn't we'd never be here!
 
Not gonna lie, I'd go for some hot cocoa, cookies, and quality lego time.

Near me all I got was free range time with an I voted sticker ... so I played with adult legos there.
Kinda feel the same way... Set in a room and drink hot cocoa while building fortresses and siege engines out of Legos... Hell, I'd bring my grandsons and a good time would be had by all.

We are officially doomed…if these are the kids that are supposed to run this country and become the military moving forward I don’t see easy times coming.


They are still the fringes of the general population at large. For every one of these coddled snowflakes, 10 more people are wearing hi-vis and hardhats and keeping the streets clean, the lights on, and the maintenance going. In this modern industrial society where logistics chains and utilities infrastructure keeps everything going, snowflakes will always be relegated into the subculture group like hippies, bohemians before them, and their ancient Greek/Roman pleasure-seeking equivalents. What IS problematic however, is that when these snowflakes assume positions of political leadership, they can cause a lot of troublesome meddling.
