The anti–Old School forces believe the traditional way of looking at life is oppressive. Not inclusive. The Old School way may harbor microaggressions. Therefore, Old School philosophy must be diminished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose crusading against Old School now have a name: Snowflakes. You may have seen them on cable TV whining about social injustice and income inequality. You may have heard them cheering Bernie Sanders as he suggested the government pay for almost everything. The Snowflake movement is proud and loud, and they don’t like Old School grads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo where are you in all this?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDid you get up this morning knowing there are mountains to climb—and deciding how you are going to climb them?

Then you’re a Snowflake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo again, are you drifting frozen precipitation? Or do you matriculate at the Old School fountain of wisdom?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will explain the looming confrontation so even the ladies on \u003ci\u003eThe View\u003c\/i\u003e can understand it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime to take a stand.
