Do you really believe college students are packing auditoriums to protest for trans rights? Look at to picture that's with that article. A small classroom with fewer protestors than students in even an advance math lecture. When the numbers get up to a typical Pysch101 lecture, wake me. |
Translation: “Things were so much better when higher education, the military and sports were only for white males” |
It does exist. The article cites several examples of it. There's ideological programming and brainwashing everywhere. It has been building for the better part of two decades. Sorry to rain on your sacred cow (and your safe space). |

Ever heard of the 1960's counter culture? Youth rebellion has existed for probably centuries. Most college student still go about their class schedules and attend parties. Then they graduate and move to the next stage of life. I agree there is something wrong, but it's not political indoctrination. Seriously the one being politically indoctrinated is you, and I hope someday you realize that. |
Yes just like you are brainwashed and programmed. |
Yes Trump made sure TikTok is still up and running even though it is against law. Wonder how much crypto that cost? |
Yes the everyone gets a trophy is how we end up with maga. |
Good point. We had the chance to save our children from a drug delivered to their phone screens, but it was overruled by the President. I hope PP 'indoctrination' sees the contradiction in her beliefs. |
Or they trash and destroy campus buildings and property like they did at Columbia. Can you tell me why the censorship always seems to be in one direction? Democrats and their affinity groups causing trouble and destroying property in the name of protests? Did you see the GOP using censorship thru Silicon Valley social networking companies to shut down debate? You always work overtime to justify the idiocy. Why? First, you tell us it doesn't exist. Then, it exists, but it's "mostly peaceful" as sh^+ is on fire everywhere. Do you think how you debate is cute? It's so easy to corner you in facts. |
To posit and argue about which (and whose) laws, policies and cultural influences caused and exacerbated the issue? |
I'm hoping to wake you up, that's why. |
First, I totally agree that the prejudiced exclusivity of the past was wrong and should never have been allowed. College entrance should be open to all 💯. Still, the capitalism of the markets has taken that and created a college for everyone to the point that some of these degrees are no longer certificates of education. They really are participation trophies. I'd be interested to know if the same holds for top 20 schools as for lower tier. |

The graduates from college this year were in 11th grade when COVID closed schools and next year’s graduates were in 10th. So many learned to copy math answers from photo math or another online program. They have used ChatGPT and other Ai tools to do any written work. They were able to be in their phones for the last 5 years during most of their waking hours. They got into college via test optional policies. Many of these students would not have attended the colleges that they are in without these policies.
Finally schools are cracking down on phone use. High schools and universities have completely realized how much cheating is going on. It’s now just impressive if they can show up on time and fake being busy even if they don’t have something to do. I am amazed that so many of them don’t pretend to be busy and instead will sit at a desk or station scrolling on their phone and give a little sigh when interrupted. |
Because they treat the students and their overinvolved parents like customers rather than students. When someone is paying you 10s of thousands per year for a product, the institution (now business) is incentivized to keep the customer happy. So when little Johnny skips his lectures "because of his mental health" and fails his final, he and his parents can throw a fit and get the school to let him retake it. Little Johnny has done this his entire educational career, and expects it to continue in the workforce. Deadlines are mere suggestions, he should get endless second chances, and his comfort is paramount. |
