After announcing the high proportion of mentally ill incoming freshman, the one male speaker, who is OELAC’s counselor, assured us that even those kids who haven’t yet been diagnosed with anything specific will still have transition problems.

These academics and professionals may style themselves as an intellectual elite, but the evidence on the ground shows that universities no longer teach, they propagandize.

Society’s concept of what constituted an unacceptable risk, harm, or trauma expanded for ill. In Hanna Rosin’s words, it “stripped childhood of independence, risk taking, and discovery—without making it safer.”
