Summary

After the 2024 election, NY Post reports that Georgetown University deployed ‘self-care suites’ for students who were ‘stressed’ by the results, while other schools encouraged students who were ’emotionally distressed’ to skip class entirely. The paper also says the college students, whose tuition hovers around $61,000 per year – and who are allegedly grown adults – were given access to Legos, coloring books, milk, cookies, and other “goodies that wouldn’t be out of place at a child’s birthday party.” Ted Balaker is an award-winning filmmaker, former ABC Network News producer, and think tank scholar. He directed ‘The Coddling of the American Mind,’ the first ‘Substack Presents’ feature film, and ‘Can We Take A Joke?’ which received acclaim from The Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter. Balaker produced ‘Little Pink House’ starring two-time Oscar nominee Catherine Keener and is an executive producer of ‘Honor Flight,’ which holds the Guinness World Record for largest film screening. He co-founded Korchula Productions and Reason TV, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA TODAY.
