No, I haven\u2019t been living in a country experiencing severe political unrest. I am living in New Haven, Conn., and attending Yale University as an undergrad.<br>While this may sound bizarre to you, behavior typical of a severely oppressed society has taken hold among students who are part of the Ivory Tower. I call it Protester Derangement Syndrome, or PDS for short.<br>Yale students enjoy luxuries akin to European aristocracy. Students live in\u00a0resort-style housing\u00a0that includes\u00a0lavish\u00a0feasts,\u00a0massage parlors\u00a0and recreational spaces that boast everything from a printing press to a pottery studio. However, Yale students afflicted with PDS display derangement symptoms similar to an oppressed religious cult. They refuse to interact with the world around them. They have demanded the buildings be renamed. They support the desecration of art. They sanitize history by demanding professors exclude certain authors from syllabi.<br>The Yale administration believes they can treat PDS through concessions and pacification. Unfortunately, their prescription has been ineffective.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna so enjoy being &#8220;the real world&#8221; for these little twerps.
