The disease is spreading. It isn’t just liberal arts–oriented colleges that encourage students to prepare for exams by reducing their stress with puppies and coloring books. Now flakey infantilization reaches even into military academies.

The oldest state-sponsored military college in the country is the Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839. It offers something called Stress Busters:

“Stress Busters is held on Reading Day of each semester,” the school said. “This is an opportunity for cadets to unwind and relax before studying for finals. This event often includes stress reduction activities such as yoga, therapy dogs, coloring book stations, card/game stations, and grab-and-go snacks to take with you on your way to study!”

After coloring and frolicking with puppies, the cadets will be ready to ace their exams and then go on to become officers, at which point they are likely to utilize declaration of a safe space as defensive military strategy.
