Unlike Margaret Wente and most commenters, I work in a university and interact with actual students every day, and I’ve been doing that for 30 yrs. In a class of 50 students I might get 1-2 people who are dealing with something that requires accommodation. I should tell the guy who is nearly blind that he’s not good enough to learn what I have to teach? Too bad deaf lady – no knowledge for you! Crippling anxiety? Tough luck for you because my grand pappy fought in the war and I had to work at in Eaton's while I was a student, don’t you know! Under the bus you go weakling. Harrumph.  

Most of what Margaret is complaining about (and over blowing as usual based on a few anecdotes and willful ignorance) is a response to real problems. We should verify people actually need help, and accountability does matter. But some kids will kill themselves before Christmas. One suicide is too many. If making a dog available to a stressed out 17 year old helps her stay alive, then bring on the dogs.
