Liberal Activism Is Giving Students Panic Attacks, Depression, Failing Grades
22nd February 2016
It’s exhausting work, being offended all the time. But is activism actually ruining college kids’ mental health? A report on the emotional state of Brown University student-protesters—who suffer from suicidal thoughts, sleeplessness, panic attacks, and failing grades as a result of their advocacy—paints a weirdly alarming picture.
Self-inflicted problem. Think of it as evolution in action. If all of these yahoos were to spend the rest of their lives unemployed and financially crippled by student debt — well, I wouldn’t clap, but I wouldn’t weep, either. (Unfortunately, far too many of them will get government jobs and inflict themselves on us for the next half-century.)
