Students Singled Out? Feelings Hurt? Humiliated? GOOD!! So Says Larry Winget

At a rally at a high school in California, 34 seniors were called out individually by name, asked to stand up and say goodbye to their classmates, and leave the assembly because they would not be graduating. They were further told by the speaker to look at their classmates as they walked away and think about what they had sacrificed that day. On Fox News this morning. best-selling author Larry Winget weighed on in the event and subsequent apology from the school.

“No the school wasn’t mean, I think this is all just silly. In fact it’s beyond silly. I’m sick and tired of school officials and school systems apologizing to kids who don’t know how to behave for the kids’ bad behavior. It’s beyond dumb. And if these kids got their feelings hurt, who cares?”

Larry also says “the fact that they got called out in front of their little friends for being losers, that humiliates them? That’s stupid!” … which is now my favorite thing ever said on TV.

Larry is right, of course. It’s beyond ridiculous the way we coddle kids in America today. Bad behavior is excused and ignored because officials are afraid to reprimand anyone and be called insensitive, not nurturing, abusive, or in some cases, even racist, misogynist or one of the other million “ist”s you can be accused of in modern America’s grievance culture.

Here is a hint kiddies, if you don’t want to be embarrassed, don’t be jackasses. You ought to be embarrassed that you can’t graduate from a public school anyway, as Larry points out. And these aren’t children, they are teenagers. The real world isn’t going to give you a pass because of your feelings. (Well, not yet. Obama’s still in office so …)

“I hope their feelings got hurt really bad,” says Winget. For their own sake, so do I.
