From the minute they set foot on campus, college students are thrown into a political cauldron. Diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, which “believe the university should be used to re-engineer American society away from color-blind meritocracy and toward equality of outcomes,” consequentially fracture student communities on the basis of politics, gender, and race. These offices also regularly push politically dubious narratives upon students, making students believe that they are oppressed and victims of the current culture.
This campus political climate, when added on top of the usual stresses of managing course loads, a social life away from home, and the omnipresent social media world, can make life difficult and stressful for students. Is it any wonder college students are in the midst of a mental health crisis?
