I remember my favorite teacher in high school being reprimanded for being too hard on failing students. ( This was the '70s) She responded "Oh yes, we must protect their little psyches!" I still love that woman!
My now-retired dad and former perennial finalist for 'The Least Temperamentally Suited School Guidance Counselor' award once got into mild trouble with his principal after informing a perpetual ne'er-do-well that he was "dumber than a five pound sack of dog shit". Dad would never make it today.
As for the article cited in the OP, I can only shake my head in wonder. Theology students who might find depictions of the crucifixion too upsetting to contemplate; forensic science students who need to be warned that they will have to learn about blood spatter patterns, crime scenes, and dead bodies; and archaeology students who may become unhinged by the thought of a well preserved body?
Yeah . . . pussies. Not just that: stupid pussies who have trouble picking a suitable field of study.
I know that we Americans have gone soft, but when did it happen to the Scots?!? They're supposed to be really tough. I know this because I sat through Braveheart.
I didn't even get a trigger warning.
