The Infantilization of the DOJ

United States Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon was interviewed by Tucker Carlson recently. And in that interview, she said that crying sessions had become a thing in the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.

Now, in the interview, she says that a lot of attorneys resigned when she announced that the DOJ was going to align with the administration's interests. And those who decided to stick around, well, many of them were unhappy. So unhappy, that they started holding group crying sessions and unhappy hours.

"Well, that’s what I found. And so, you know, in response to my memos, of course, they began leaking to the press. They began having unhappy hours, which they would invite supervisors, political supervisors to, to make their point that they were unhappy. We got the point. And they had crying sessions, struggle sessions, crying sessions in the DOJ."

So, in the last 10 years at least, we've all become familiar with collegiate safe spaces. I recall several years ago when I helped daughter #1 move into the dorm at St. Louis University, there was a big sign outside of the 4th floor elevator telling us where the Safe Space was located. Coloring books, crayons, and Play-Doh provided. How thoughtful. Covered by your activity fee, no doubt.

Anyway, when young adults get this sort of conditioning, why should they expect anything different when they go out in the real world for a job? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because by the time they reach college, they are supposed to be adept at spotting BS when it's plopped down in front of them.

Out of curiosity, I decided to look at job requirements for DOJ applicants. Other than the usual stuff like college degrees and specific experiences or training in certain disciplines, a number of them require something that higher education seems to have failed in preparing their students for the greater world experience. Professionalism.

I just pulled this job posting at random, but I would suspect that all of the others on the DOJ's website say something similar. If they don't, I would expect that requiring professionalism in the job is presumed. Crying about the administration in the office isn't professional. And as has been said before, "There's no crying in Baseball." 

If the administration changes and decides to enforce standards and the law, I don't know why some DOJ employees would feel the need to cry, because that supposes that prior to Donald Trump's inauguration, they were not enforcing standards and the law. The ones with backbones quit; the criers probably should have. Either way, the country doesn't need infants working for the Department of Justice, and I hope Dhillon can either get them to find their steel or the back door.
