Elsewhere on NRO today, Charles Cooke analyzes the latest ploy of Harvard students. Some have signed a letter asking that because of the trauma of the last few weeks (the Michael Brown and Eric Garner shootings), they should delay their exams.

Columbia Law School already allowed students who felt traumatized to postpone taking exams. Now Harvard Law students want the same treatment. And Cooke says about that:

All in all, the [Harvard students’] letter suggests that a significant portion of today’s students have noticed that, if they wish to get their own way, they need only to report that they are upset or outraged or traumatized, and then to sit back and wait.

Yes, this is just another manifestation of the pampered generation. But at law school? These are not 18-year-olds. Aren’t they beyond this infantilism? Maybe not.
