Colleges Across the Country Are Cancelling Classes Over Trump’s Win
”This is a major historical event that we are witnessing. I hope you take this time to take care of yourself.”
This is so pathetic. People need to grow up.

‘Devastated’: Classes at Harvard, Penn, Columbia, Swarthmore and others canceled over Trump win
Many professors canceled classes this week in the wake of Donald Trump’s re-election to the Oval Office, citing the emotional needs and trauma of students.
Some scholars from at least three Ivy League schools canceled classes: Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Columbia.
“Jews endured calls for their genocide day and night last semester, and Columbia did nothing. Half the country votes for a candidate and Columbia elitists can’t deal,” posted Eliana Goldin on X, also including screenshots from several Columbia professors’ memos about the cancelations.
“Their blatant double standard couldn’t be more offensive to the Jewish community at Columbia,” Goldin stated.
Michigan State University Professor Shlagha Borah said in a Wednesday memo to students: ”I am cancelling class today to grieve the presidential election results. As a queer, immigrant woman of colour, I cannot, in good conscience, go on about my day like everything is alright.”
”This is a major historical event that we are witnessing. I hope you take this time to take care of yourself.”
The writing and rhetoric professor, who was hired over the summer, added she would not discriminate against any students for their political beliefs, according to the memo, a copy of which was posted by the X account End Wokeness.
Mark Bullion, spokesman for MSU, told The College Fix via email Thursday that campus leaders are “aware of the situation and are addressing it through the appropriate leadership channels.”
At Ohio University, Professor Amy Chadwick canceled her communications class “to give space to those who are devastated by the election results.”
“I have already interacted with students who are hurting badly, who are scared, who are tired, and who are unsure how to go on,” stated Chadwick’s memo, a copy of which was posted on X by Old Row.
“For those of you who are scared, traumatized, angry, etc., please know that you are not alone. There are resources available to help support you and there are pathways forward,” the professor added. “…I know not everyone is upset at the results and I hope we can be gentle with each other today rather than create division.”
Just some of the written evidence that Columbia/Barnard professors canceled class today because of the election.

It’s not like anyone was learning anything there anyway.
Instead of dealing with American College Chaos, here are four schools that I’ve had positive experiences with in the past:
(1) SpanishConMaria
(2) MenteArgentina
(3) DonQuijote Schools
(4) AcademiaBuenosAires
You’ll have fun, and you’ll be enhancing your future earnings if you intend to work in America in the future.
I have nothing to do with these or any other schools. This is not an ad. I’m not a paid or unpaid influencer.
Did they cancel classes after Oct 7 ??
Too bad the military academies aren’t also doing this. It sure would grease Trump’s Terrible Swift Sword.
AT first I thought this meant Taylor Swift was cancelling a concert.
The Trump administration should keep a list of each of these perverted schools and cut their water completely off for the entirety of his time in office.
