… ‘The Coddling of the American Mind’ Review: Fragile, Fearful, Feeling Aggrieved - WSJ. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

“What is new today is the premise that students are fragile,” write Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt in “The Coddling of the American Mind.” “Even those who are not fragile themselves often believe that others are in danger and therefore need protection.” The debate narrows as everyone censors others as well as themselves.

An old-fashioned classical education would do the trick, but not everybody is up to that, at least not at the same time in life.
