WHAT A WORLD OF WIMPS: Columbia Law School is permitting students claiming to be impaired due to the emotional impact of recent non-indictments in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner matters to postpone taking their final exams.

I was in college on Friday, November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated -- a far more traumatic event, I should think. Classes resumed on Saturday (college was 6 days a week back then). No exams were postponed, there was no 'trauma counseling', and no plans were made for future teach-in to 'educate ourselves and formulate a response to the implications' of the assassination.

Wimps indeed.
