An Emory University degree just went down in value – again.
I’ve never been a fan of any Emory undergrad I’ve met. Emory is an expensive, whiny Northern rich kid’s college. Around its hometown of Atlanta, its graduates are called “Em-roids” because of their entitled attitude, and they just proved why.
Emory students and their school president are all in a prissy tizzy because there might be one or more Trump supporters on campus. When someone with chalk wrote “Trump 2016” around campus, the school was all but locked down. Students cried and said they felt “unsafe.” They chanted protests to the president: “You are not listening! Come speak to us; we are in pain.” The president immediately had the admissions office investigate how it was that a Republican was admitted to Emory.
Responding to their Em-roid rage, he then sent out a letter expressing that he felt their pain. These princesses were offered grief counseling for the worst trauma of their lives: seeing Trump’s name.
The students then went into the campus quad and played Hacky Sack (with helmets, for safety) because it just felt right. I never trust a college that doesn’t have a football team.
