Top 20 schools Dept. of Education left off the naughty list

[Anonymous]

With the Department of Education going away, at least the fake IEPs to game standardized tests will too.

To the contrary. Institutional neutrality and encouraging open and respectful discourse is what all schools should be doing. If we all learned to have open and respectful conversations, rather than yelling hatred at each other and physically threatening those with whom we disagree, we would all be better off.

I’m not disagreeing with this approach at all; it’s what I advocate for. But if you’re a rabid Zionist and care solely about your feelings, this approach is scary to you, and an admin coming down hard on antisemitism would not allow this to stand.

Zionists do not care solely about their feelings. They care about Israel’s right to exist as a county and Israel’s ability to defend itself from terrorist attacks by people who call for its destruction and the death of all Jews. If the protestors at places like Columbia were not calling for death to Jews and taking up Hamas’s cause, it would have been a different story. Interestingly, UChicago had far fewer incidents of such hatred because they promote open and respectful dialogue. I have no problem with an open and respectful conversation about the war. I do have a problem with calls for my death.

“Call for its destruction” and “death to all” just will never seem like anything more than carefully scripted talking points designed to elicit an irrational overreaction.

The antisemitism thing is just an excuse. Please understand what's really going on - they're trying to take control of universities to indoctrinate students, as is done in authoritarian countries.

Here's JD Vance talking about it last year before he was Trump's running mate

Aaand the students haven't been heavily indoctrinated by the left ar universities?

Have you not paid attention to the last 15 or so years, particularly the last 10?

The last four years have been Mao's cultural revolution.

Not necessarily. If that goes away, there is still the 504 which protects kids with learning disabilities. Nice try though. Oh, and anyone with money will still get private testing done. Glad my DD just finished up with her ACT testing!!

The problem is that these protestors were referring to all Jewish students not on their side as Zionists. That's what I call rabid.

Except there are kids with real IEP's who will be put at a significant disadvantage.

Fake IEPs? Getting an IEP isn't an easy thing to do. The fake accommodations are usually using 504 to gain their advantage.

I’m not worried about standardized testing. I’m worried about how my kid in college will possibly pass if all of a sudden their accommodations (basically extended time, use of a computer in any class (some profs don’t allow) and a special software for notes) are ripped away.

I think it's because they were tied to policies under the former president, who resigned. Not sure what campus climate is like now.

no. other colleges had people resign, even presidents.

this list is typical for this admin: a list was made, was shown around a table and everyone took their favorite school off for no real reason other than alumni status or they like the football team or whatever. totally random and subjective and whatever the fat white guys thought in the moment. the conversations went like this:

"take notre dame off, my son is there."
"done. anyone else?"
"can I add a school? I heard about this one thing on Joe Rogan and it's just a woke bs"
"of course. add, remove, whatever you want"

If that’s the case, how come Ohio State (Vance’s alma mater) is on the list?

Because Vance believes no one did anything for him, ever. He's totally a self-made man in his mind. And that extends to Ohio State, which he's like eh, fine. He refuses to see that he was a DEI admit to Yale as a non-combative vet. He rose despite them all. Ohio State and Yale? Those were auto-ads.

Oh, he is combative all right…

He is combative yet a massive snowflake. He cried like a b**tch when a bunch of seniors happened to walk by him (not knowing he was even there) to talk about Ukraine. Entirely normal interaction and then he cried on X about it.
