Anyone who uses the term "funding" on a regular basis to describe their source of income should be sent to a re-education camp.
The football team went 5-7 .
It’s not like they were 12-0 and going to the Rose Bowl
It takes a lot of gall for a bunch of losers to threaten to quit in a huff.
The players should have been kicked off the team for lack of performance.
I personally would have hung my head in shame and been happy to keep my scholarship if I were on the team but not these entitled malcontents.
If I were the coach, I Would have shown the players that black actions have consequences and they would be trying to figure out how to pay their tuition and what to do with the Saturdays.
Step two is brilliant.
I was kind of wondering...how long before cites like Detroit, New York and LA and such as that, and maybe even states start collapsing under the weight of liberalism... It seems no one wants to stand up for what's right and proper anymore.... Honesty and truth are a thing of the past....why that's raciest..!
This is one of the most encouraging articles I have read in a long time.
Affirmative action is a large part of the problem; many of the “students” are unqualified semi-literates put there by the government in the hopes they won’t breed.
Many of these schools are part of a false economy propped up in crappy areas (on the condition that they hire many locals, if even for janitors). I went to a school in a city here in NJ, and there was no financial ripple effect beyond the borders of the campus; people went to class, then fled before the sun went down. I loved it; there were few people there who weren’t serious about getting a degree as quickly as possible. No party scene, no propaganda about social justice (black cops warned us about the local residents), no rallies - just school.
I would imagine most large HR depts have discussed this and to some extent have made the dares of the special snowflakes nearly useless to many large companies. I’’ sure Starbucks will hire them as a barista. Good luck paying back your loan with that hourly job.
-—What should President Trump do to burst the bubble? I say(again) offer $200k of taxpayer money to H.S. valadictorians to NOT GO TO COLLEGE. Start with the biggest senior classes. That would cut the universities down a notch.——
Ok...trying to wrap my head around the idea taxpayers should pay the best and the brightest 200 K NOT to further their education...
Not getting very far...
The way to burst the higher education bubble is to stop all third-party financing of it. No more loans or grants, period. If these schools had to survive on what people could actually afford to pay, costs would drop precipitously. Just as with the housing bubble, it is the injection of outside (government) money that pumps it up. Similar to the fact that not everyone can really afford a house (or at least the house they wish to have), not everyone can afford to go to college, and certainly few can afford to go someplace like Harvard.
Bemoaning that simple fact of life and trying to use government programs to engineer some utopian egalitarian outcome simply distorts normal market forces and makes it more expensive for everyone, while at the same time ironically reducing the perceived value of the education received. When everyone has a degree, then the relative value of that degree begins to approach zero. And given the fact that most colleges and universities have become nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers (outside of the hard sciences, at least - "climatology" specifically excluded), I'm not sure there's much actual value to a "college education" for the average person anyway. Certainly not any value commensurate with today's inflated tuition.
