Henry Moss did not vote for Donald Trump – but he isn’t stewing around campus because his candidate loss.
Moss, in an opinion piece for The Harvard Crimson, wants his fellow Democrats to “please grow up” about Trump’s victory.
He wrote:
I voted for Vice President Kamala Harris. I understand people’s disappointment. But the level of immaturity displayed last week, by students and faculty alike, was thoroughly disappointing. In the wake of Election Day, my peers played right into the hands of the right, who revel in nothing more than calling those on the left out-of-touch “liberal snowflakes” who can’t handle the slightest insult to their feelings.
He criticized faculty for not being better examples.
He wrote:
The faculty — a group even more liberal than our student body, according to Crimson surveys — responded even more troublingly. Instead of motivating students to take the results in stride, professors and administrators offered lemon bars, converted their offices into election processing spaces for grieving students, canceled classes, and made quizzes optional.
Frankly, I am embarrassed. Are my peers — legal adults who also happen to be the best and brightest of our generation — really so immature that a personally unfavorable election result impedes their daily functioning?
“To my peers, please grow up. The world is not ending,” Moss wrote. “Your rights are not going to disappear simply because someone you equate with the Antichrist was elected by the majority of your compatriots.”
