College Coloring and Safe Spaces: An Open Letter to Walter Camier

College...and Coloring Books

Standard-Speaker letter-writer declares that coloring books have no place in college.

"Why have many universities adopted a childish approach in which college coloring books are becoming a sad sign of the times? This is a fruit of years of liberal academia that purposely ignored the need to form mature morally upright students to assume responsibility in society." - Walter Camier

Our response

It sounds ridiculous when you imagine 20-year-olds with Disney pages and crayons, doesn't it? That's all we had until a few years ago when the adult coloring market exploded onto the scene. The designs you find in adult coloring pages and books are generally intricate, full of details that would leave your average toddler hollering and running amuck. (Though let's be honest, toddlers holler and run amuck for pretty much anything.)

Coloring is but one of many hobbies that helps you clear your mind, much like prayer. It's a way to remove worry from the forefront of your mind and focus on something else for a little while. Runners run. Knitters knit. Golfers golf. Colorists color. :) There are many genres, including Christian devotionals, Scripture passages, and Church architecture.
