'Many in our community are sleep-deprived, again grieving for glass ceilings that weren't shattered, fearful for the future, or embarrassed to face our international colleagues,' Harvard professor says
After Donald Trump's historic reelection sent despair rippling across college campuses, grieving professors at America's top universities canceled classes, rescheduled exams, and promised to forgive poor grades. Schools offered students milk, cookies, puzzles, Legos, and "destress sessions."
Several professors at Columbia University and its sister school, Barnard College, offered such accommodations for their students, emails reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. One Columbia professor granted students permission to skip class, while another gave students an extension on a homework assignment.
"I hope you are hanging in there. I have been think of you over the last few days," one Columbia professor wrote to her students. "[If] you don't feel up for class, absences today will be excused."

Now is the time for sympathy, community, and inspiration from our better angels to mend the rifts in our nation. There's no purpose in payback, revenge politics and such. Rise above and lead by example.

Be honest....How hard were you laughing when you wrote that ?
My question is why the US government is allowing this blatant infiltration of our educational system by foreign entities.

I wrote it somberly, as I believe strongly in the virtues of humility and compassion and reassurance to our neighbors who are clearly struggling to break out of the psychosis cultivated by the media. At the end of the day, we're all Americans, and today we have the opportunity to heal our society by resisting the juvenile urge to scorn and punish. That kind of "returning the favor" can only escalate conflict and that's the wrong direction for this country.
