Elite DC university reportedly providing 'self-care suite' for students stressed about election results

"In recognition of these stressful times," Jaclyn Clevenger, Director of Student Engagement at the McCourt School of Public Policy, wrote, "all McCourt community members are welcome to gather… in the 3rd floor Commons to take a much needed break, joining us for mindfulness activities and snacks throughout the day." 

The full day's agenda includes, "Tea, Cocoa and Self-Care," a "Legos Station," "Coloring and Mindfulness Exercises," "Milk and Cookies," "Healthy Treats and Healthy Habits," and "Snacks and Self-Guided Meditation."

"The only thing missing is a blankie," Free Press reporter Frannie Block wrote.

"I wanted to ask Clevenger why college and graduate students needed milk and cookies to recover from their stress—and how being coddled in college might someday affect American diplomacy—but she didn’t respond to my calls or emails," she added.

The school event was also ridiculed on social media. 

"That’s one expensive day care facility," one user posted to X. 

"These children aren't emotionally mature enough to be in college," another posted. 

"Seriously, @Georgetown? We all know that it’s not conservative students who want the daycare experience. Stop coddling leftists who can’t handle reality," Defense of Freedom Institute spokesperson Angela Morabito wrote.

"Maybe these people shouldn’t be involved with public policy," another person wrote.
