Liberal students across the nation watched in shock as Donald Trump clinched victory from Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States.
But some wiped their tears, and pulled themselves together enough to ask their professors to cancel their exams because they were so upset by the results.
And one Yale economics professor heard the cry, and decided to protect his snowflake charges by making the test optional.

BREAKING: Yale Econ 115 professor makes midterm exam optional after students write in expressing shock about presidential election:
12:40 AM - 9 Nov 2016 · New Haven, CT, United States
He wrote to them saying: “I am getting many heartfelt notes from students who are in shock over the election returns” and “fear, rightly or wrongly for their families” and are “requesting that the exam be postponed.”
It isn’t clear who the professor was, but Yale publishes a list of its economics faculty members here.
John Victor, editor of the Yale News, published the extraordinary message, and noted that many more snowflake students were demanding similar treatment.
