The infantilizing of America

A professor [sic] at Georgetown University (formerly Catholic), after learning of the stress and upset her students were experiencing after Donald Trump’s re-election, decided to take action, sort of, which took the form of what you see below: a day long therapy session for her traumatized children.

Which begs the question, after these babies are handed their diplomas, what are they going to do with their lives? And since so many students at so many of our institutions of higher learning [interim sic] share the same emotional distress of their comrades at Georgetown, and with their minders reacting similarly, one wonders (in a different context from the phrase’s original intent), who will make the trains run on time?

We’re producing in this country a spoiled upper-class with zero capability. What’s to become of them? History teaches us a pampered and idle aristocracy eventually meets with an unpleasant end. Will that happen here?

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
