That's just amazing!
And good for that college!

The Left's absurd rationalizations for pernicious dogma, which serves no legitimate interest of anyone, has reached something of a high water mark for total absurdity. If we persist in rationally attacking the false & misleading premises, the pendulum should begin to swing back shortly.

Like you I am a believer in the PENDULUM SWING THEORY; however, just when I think it ( that goes for EVERYTHING, not just the lefty college stuff ) truly can't get any lower/farther left...IT DOES! :-(
Thanks for the links.

I know two Ivy League kids, at Yale and Harvard, who studied gender studies and African-American studies, who both work on Wall Street.Are they well paid? Are they good enough at what they do to deserve that pay? In otherwords, are they earning their keep in spite of their useless education? Or, did they get some overpaid sweetheart deal through connections?

Dont say that with a useless degree in some Neo-marxist sociology field you cant get a job. Young, indoctrinated Ivy League princelings are often still welcome into the halls of government and high finance. I know two Ivy League kids, at Yale and Harvard, who studied gender studies and African-American studies, who both work on Wall Street. Key word here may be "princelings". Are the two kids you've met children of elites?
In lots of organizations, the key question about a potential new hire is not "is he competent?", or "is he smart?", but rather "can I trust him to follow my agenda, come what may?". In other words, "will he be a reliable member of the team?"

Yes. But we may finally have caught the break we need with President Trump, rejecting the PC strictures which were inhibiting reasoned debate in Academia.

It’s a private, Christian university. All the good schools here are private and Christian. The public schools are abysmal beyond description. But I’ll be damned if I’ll pay more in property taxes as my liberal neighbor keeps proposing.
To: Ohioan
That's what I'm hoping, but he's only got a bit less than 6 years to turn this state of affairs around some more. That's NOT a long time, especially when he's battling both Houses ( no matter WHO has the majority in each ), the Roberts' Court, the MSM, and the entertainment and tech industries.
A major problem is that far too many supposed Conservative parents and grandparents have abrogated their responsibilities and have not/are not raising the next generation to know the truth!
To: miss marmelstein
Hmmmmmmmmm...never heard of it. Perhaps I should look into it.
I just hope that your new town and insane neighbors don't pull what they do here. When a budget gets voted down here, they just keep bringing it to vote again and again and AGAIN, until fewer and fewer people turn out to vote and they get it passed. This, needless to say, drives us CRAZY and we always keep going to vote, but it gets tiring and others don't.
To: PapaBear3625
Wall Street....NO; private Hedge fund companies...YES, probably the connection thing.
To: nopardons
It’s almost exclusively Republican here but my next door neighbor is a Canadian married to a local. You know Canadians.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh...
Yes, I do understand what you've inferred.
Is your husband thinking about teaching a course?
To: caww
The Dartmouth course does not seem bad or anti-Trump, at least it sounds like a legitimate angle of inquiry...

No! More like taking the course. I don’t know how expensive it would be. He studies Greek history and has a real appetite for the “great books” that are being taught at Faulkner.

Personally, if they are going to call you a racist, and they believe your a racist, act like one. Get the FBI to raid thei houses and throw them in jail for no real crimes. Mueller is a pro at it, yet it’s Trump that’s the facist

We are creating entire generations of ill-educated adults who are monumentally ignorant of history and civics. <<<
yes....and they think they're SMART because it cost them so much to be indoctrinated into uncritical thinking....
