Whiny college students need to grow up
Donald Trump pledges to make America great again. Sounds good to me. Yet we see thousands of college students take to the streets in various cities across the nation, marching in protest against the results of the election. Their choice didn't win so they block traffic, disrupt the peace, burn the American flag and claim that the election results are so traumatic that they cannot concentrate on their studies.
Can't concentrate on studies? How does one even begin to explain that?
The hypocrisy is astounding. During a time in which college graduates have difficulty landing a job, Donald Trump vows to dramatically increase the American work force. It seems odd to denounce one who vows to give you a chance. So why the protests?
If I had to guess, I'd say because on election night, the hard-working, tax-paying average American citizen added a new subject to the college curriculum via their vote. It's called Reality. Instead of entitlements, its lessons focus on common sense, responsibility and most importantly, derailing the government gravy train.
