Breitbart is fake news?

Wasn't referring to Breitbart, I was referring (confusingly I guess) to being disabled. Claiming a disability and being disabled are 2 different things....I'll edit my post

Jan Collins-Eaglin, the Claremont consortium’s associate dean of students for personal success and wellness, says that anxiety and stress are likely behind the increase in the number of “disabled” students. “At Pomona, we have extremely talented bright students with very high expectations who are coming in with a good level of anxiety and are highly stressed,” she said in a comment to the Wall Street Journal. “Our job here is to help them really thrive.”
These kids need to have balance their lives. They will struggle in the real world if they don't get it together.

You should visit a VA hospital or clinic.

More "news" from Breitbart to get everyone's dander up about lib colleges in lib states.
Reed, anyway, has a tiny enrollment (1,500 or so) and quite difficult to get into. I suppose that's cause for an uproar though.

Which is what you used to need to get a medical marijuana card.

I know of a lot of able-bodied convicted felons who collect disability.
Apparently just being dumber than a sack of hammers is a disability now.

Define “disabled”.
ADHD? Missing all or part of a limb? IQ equal to their shoe size?

A lot of places don’t want convicted felons.
No one wants violent criminals, period, and no business wants a white collar criminal like an embezzler dealing with their cash.

Perhaps reading about the same MAJOR PROBLEM in a conservative state will help you get a clue.
NPR LINK - In One Alabama County, Nearly 1 In 4 Working-Age Adults Is On Disability

AUTHOR: Once people go in that direction, they're unlikely to come back.
JOFFE-WALT: Once a person gets on disability, there are really only two ways out. You get old enough that at 65, 66 years old you move on to a different government program, Social Security for seniors, or you die. Those are the two ways people exit disability. Almost no one gets better. The benefits don't get you rehabilitative services or supportive technology. They get you a check.

Please don't report anything that may be remotely negative about liberals.
Good grief. Toughen up, Sally.

Thank Obama for this one as well. His Adminstration OPENLY encouraged everyone who didn't have a job to sign u for SSD instead so they could fudge the unemployment numbers and like with any other welfare program once people learn how to graft, they aren't going to stop until they are stopped.
"I'm too sad to work" was a legit path to SSD when the magical negro was President

Is that just a new and more expensive way of saying "guidance counselor"?
