There are no adults in the room. Campus administrators and faculty (and parents) have allowed (encouraged?) an entire generation of young people to grow up with all the maturity and self-control of a two year old who pitches a tantrum when he doesn’t get his way, and is promptly appeased by those who should be helping him become a responsible adult. Appeasement does not work. The little tyrants grow up to attack absolutely everyone who dares disagree with them, eventually including each other. Unfortunately those little tyrants have now risen to positions of authority on campus, in corporations and in government. Rome burns while we try to prove who is woke enough to satisfy the two year olds.
Reminds me of a possible sitting assignment I interviewed for. The family had a large, heavyset female cat (who it turned out hated women). It went to attack me. The husband grabbed it and held it close. He told it, it was alright and fed it a couple treats while petting to sooth it. I recall it sitting at the top of the stairs as we were leaving, the sun spilling over its shoulders, with a Cheshire smile. A male sitter took the assignment and was VERY careful of their relationship. One problem is the agitators get sympathized with and reinforced.
