Could today’s college students be any more pathetic? If you are unable to hear opposing political viewpoints, what are you even doing in college?

Fancypants College In Cleveland Offers SAFE SPACE For Students Traumatized By Republican Convention
Case Western Reserve University is providing a “safe space” for students who are upset about this week’s Republican National Convention.
The fancypants private school in Cleveland — where tuition, fees and room and board cost $60,304 per year — is located just over 4 miles from Quicken Loans Arena, where the GOP convention is occurring.
A July 11 statement in The Daily, Case Western’s internal e-newsletter, informs students — and professors, and administrators — that the private school’s Social Justice Institute “will host a ‘safe space’” in the basement of concrete-laden Crawford Hall for the duration of the convention, which runs from July 18 to July 21.
“After extensive consultation among our leadership team and discussions in last week’s open forums, we have decided that the university will reduce its on-campus operations significantly from Monday, July 18, through the close of the convention Thursday, July 21,” the statement explains.
Classes have been either cancelled or moved off campus. Faculty members, students and most staffers are supposed to take virtually the entire week off. “Deans and unit leaders have been asked to work with their teams to determine how to maintain essential services with the fewest number of staff physically on the campus.”
So sad.
Our campuses need a big change.
