[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the students' behavior is rude and stupid - and indicative of the entitled attitude permeating among collegr kids (and many on the left, in general).

This was at a Historically-Black College, and the government has invested in them for decades. In fact, Trump just recently signed an agreement giving them more clout. Why bite the hand that feeds you?

Right, they should be so grateful to have her over their own objections.  Who are they to have an opinion about their own commencement ceremony?  Or education?  [/quote]

They are supposed to be mature educated and open minded individuals who embrace diverse views. I guess their education failed them. [/quote]

Yeah okay, what you really mean to say is they are supposed to be docile and servile sycophants who smile and say, "Yassir boss!" anytime a white person opens their mouth.  Sorry to disappoint but this is not the 1800's and the tight-lipped subservient slaves you love so much are no longer in existence.  Those were, in fact, mature educated and open-minded individuals who have a voice and who had a choice and they exercised their rights as free citizens are entitled to do by turning their backs on that fraud of an Education Secretary and her counterfeit commencement address which was nothing more than a publicity stunt.  Those mature, educated, and aware graduates recognized what was really going on and and wanted no part of it.  If Betsy DeVos wants to pad her weak resume with photo ops alongside black students tell her she needs to take her ignorant ass to a predominantly black preschool and smile for the cameras holding 4 year-old's, they're too young too understand, but she's not going to pull that bullshit on mature educated individuals who know a sham when they see one.[/quote]

Such diversity of thought and passion is actually great for a business. It means they are looking for new ways to solve problems and get results, plus they are inspired by their work.

Unfortunately, many business owners take an authoritarian "father knows best" attitude. This is what prevents them from graduating their small business to a medium sized business. The most successful businesses in world - Google, Facebook, Bridgewater hedge fund - thrived because they created an environment of regularly challenging the ideas of the "boss" to create a better product, service, or more profitability. You want young workers who (i) have the street smarts to spot bullsh#t a mile away and (ii) are confident enough to stand-up for themselves/their ideas.

[b]These kids will have a great future. It's also pretty obvious that their college president sold them out for a few pieces of silver.[/b][/quote]
