College cry-ins and primal screams
Placeholder Image
The historic election of Donald J. Trump as the next President of the United States has resulted in student protests and “cry-ins” at some of our most prestigious colleges.For example, some Cornell University students decided to organize a “cry-in” to deal with the trauma of Trump’s victory. According to noted columnist John Leo, Zoe Maisel, co-president of Planned Parenthood Generation at Cornell, said she and co-president Cassidy Clark led the election night cry-in. “We need to just take a break and just cry before … tomorrow we get back up and keep fighting because people feel really, really powerless.”
