It really hasn’t |
Ridiculous. Jewish kids are going everywhere everyone else is going based on their interests and strengths. Look at Brookline and Newton MA where 30% of the population is Jewish. The graduating class matriculation lists in Brookline and Newton are varied. A lot of Massachusetts and New York colleges which are places that are safe, strict gun control, and abortion is legal. |
Florida schools are hotter than ever and not at all dropping anytime soon |
There are plenty of protests taking place at "southern" schools and even more northern schools that haven't had major student protests related to the war. My DC goes to a Northeastern SLAC and life has gone on completely normally there. No tents, no protests, no drama. |
+1 It's funny, the same poster keeps popping up to insist Florida schools will decline due to DeSantis... and yet, we see the exact opposite happening. It must really infuriate that poster! |
It’s the large universities. Boston had Harvard, Emerson, Tufts, Northeastern and BU clogging the streets. |
Same stuff AND south has dozens of medical schools with 90% seats reserved for local residents so pre-med heaven. |
I posted one about how trashy Florida is but more than one discussed DeSantis and how the better professors are leaving and DeSantis is politicizing the public universities steering them to a hard right. Other people think some of the schools are doing great and they're probably not wrong. It’s called opinion. |
Many people feel that higher education is already politicized, and view DeSantis's policies as a correction. |
Many of the schools with the highest number of violent crimes against students per 1000 population are in the south, such as Auburn. |
I’m not sure why people think this matters? Aside from the MAGA crowd in congress making utterly unfounded claims about “violent” pro-Palestine protests (and being embarrassing contradicted by NYPD and others) , these protests don’t really impact much for those who chose not to participate. And of course, contrary to the propaganda, a huge percentage of those who do participate are Jews. |
jews have a long history in the south. on a per capita basis, it was more common for jews in the south to own slaves than gentile whites 40% of jews nationwide owned slaves in the antebellum period |
The gap between the looks of students in the south and west has gotten way too large vs the northeast/midwest
the big state schools up north, midatlantic, or midwest used to keep more of their attractive b+ students but now it feels they are ALL going south or west. |
As my child so gently put it last night after looking at the commitments at the local high school, “basic” |
This is true and still doesn’t refute the fact that way more Jewish people live in the north than the south. |
