I realize older generations always look askance at youngsters, but... well, I went to college where there were security guards patrolling the corridors with dogs & knife fights in the library, and I don't think it even occurred to us we might be traumatized by the experience.https://twitter.com/AliceDreger/status/1096054376039411712 …

Of course, the obvious response is that this is just my white privilege speaking. But I'm not sure it's that. I don't remember there being any talk of trauma, that sort of thing, & I mixed in precisely the sorts of circles where one would have heard that kind of talk.

I think what we're seeing is weaponized victimhood, & it's a recent phenomenon. I can't get too worked up about it, because this stuff is cyclical. It'll go away again (a new generation of students will come along & they'll want to distinguish themselves from their predecessors).

When we grew up, we were allowed to go out and play. We grew accustomed to the world outside home and to other people. The snowflake generation are pampered brats without experience.
