The Daily Caller ^ | September 13, 2015 | Blake Neff and Jonah Bennett

Modern students arriving on college campuses today will find themselves learning about far more than just mathematics, writing, science, and other well-worn aspects of a liberal college education.

College campuses are known for their political ferment, and modern campus activists have popularized or outright invented a vast vocabulary of new lingo to underly new identities and new grievances, whether they involve race, sex, or categories yet unknown to most. With that in mind, The Daily Caller News Foundation has compiled a short list of some of the most frequently-used terms, so that the brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents among our readers won’t be baffled and caught unawares by their use: ...

Ugh.

Students used to attend college to learn.

Now they attend to learn how to act stupid.

I don’t see “Bullshit” in the list. This omission is “fauna discrimination” against cattle.

Cow Patties have rights too.

My first attempt a college ended poorly. I was an outstanding student. Out standing in the hall watching the girls go by. Riddled with guilt about completely wasting my retired fathers hard earned and fixed income I left school after the freshman year and joined the labor force and 3 years later entered the service when the 70’s recession dried up career opportunities in the construction trades. I joined the military, which at that time in history was looking for warm bodies, and I needed 3 hots & and cot.

That is part and partial why I do not understand college age students today... they are as bone headed a group that ever had so much opportunity at any other time in history and yet they are completely misdirected without accountability, responsibility, and are heading down the path of un-credibility.

And the enabling parent’s and academia lacks the fortitude to cut them off and shut them down! It is a very strange period of history we are living through and the residue of this social calamity is far reaching, beyond my remaining years, from what I can ascertain.
