The institution is offering a range of activities, including hot cocoa, milk and cookies, and even Lego play sessions. This move has sparked a debate about the appropriateness of such measures in a university setting, particularly in a school focused on public policy.
According to RedState, the once prestigious Georgetown University is now being compared to a pre-school, as it resorts to comforting its students with activities typically associated with young children. The question arises whether these coping mechanisms are suitable for individuals aged 19, 20, or 21. Critics argue that if students are unable to handle the stress of an election without such interventions, they may have more significant issues to address.

The McCourt School of Public Policy's mission is to respond to and tackle the complex issues of today.

This approach by Georgetown University is reminiscent of a private school in New York City that recently created a space for students "emotionally distressed" by the election. The school even allowed students to skip school the following day if they were too stressed out.

Georgetown University has a history of helping its students cope with election losses. The school hosted Hillary Clinton for an event two years after her 2016 defeat. Clinton used the platform to discuss "sexism" and "misogyny," which she believed contributed to her loss. “Any of you who’ve read my book about 'what happened' know that I think misogyny and sexism was part of that campaign—it was one of the contributing factors,” Clinton said. “Some of it was old-fashioned sexism and the refusal to accept the equality of women, and certainly the equality of women’s leadership.”

The debate continues about whether these unconventional coping mechanisms are beneficial or detrimental to the students' development. Critics argue that such measures may not prepare students for the real-world challenges they will face as future policymakers. On the other hand, supporters may argue that these activities provide a much-needed break from the stress of the current political climate.
