Good. Cowardice should have a price. And their leadership was quick to show the white feather.

Any so-called school where #BLM is ascendent is not a place of education.

Another piece of evidence of the Silent Majority.

The kids will goosestep to the Diversity drumbeat in school lest the teachers smack them down but when it comes to paying big bucks for a big party they don’t want to be dropped into a Spike Lee film.

There are black high school kids who won’t go to Mizzou because they think the school is racist. There are white kids who won’t go to Mizzou because they know it is.

Only 23%?? What is the matter with those 77% that decided - wow, this is the best place I could go to college!

If you are a Missouri resident you are stuck going to Mizzou if you want to save on tuition.

The 23% is still quite a statement. Wish it was more, but it is encouraging that some Whites will not allow themselves to be shamed.

Good. This should happen at more schools. We are well past the time for the education bubble to burst.

And at a time when higher education is looking like the next big bubble to burst, you really need to hang on to every student you can.

Colleges are closing. I expect it will get worse.

It’s not Black Lives Matter that cost them the students, it’s how the administration handled it that did.

My guess is that many of them are locked into the last two years in going there or possibly losing credits by transferring to a different university.

Do they have that class called “How to defeat white people”?

I also think this number is partly due to the whole higher education debate going on right now. I suspect that a LOT of schools are down in attendance, simply because they are running out of rubes.

I would not send my kids to any college that's blatantly political, PC, openly racist or rabidly anti-racist (which ironically is the same thing as racist).

Perhaps they are the affirmative action and illegal alien students going on state-sponsored scholarships.
