Remember, young people—what matters is the color of your skin and not the content of your character.
_That_ is the meaning of affirmative action.
One natural result of this nonsense if it is allowed to continue is that bridges will start failing when new, planes will fall out of the sky, etc. There are many endeavors where truth is objective and matters.
Note to hiring managers - Boise State diplomas are now worthless.
I would not want to cross a bridge designed by one of these graduates. That is why China is the future.
“Inclusive...”
There’s another word that when uttered by liberals should result in some serious dental bills.
George Carlin once said American schools have been dumbed down so much, pretty soon the only thing you’ll need to get into college is a pencil.
I suppose in the liberal arts you can get away with this, but in the hard science’s you’re setting those kids up for complete failure post-graduation.
oh goodie, another pied piper for the snowflakes .. oy vey
They’re going to start grading students on how woke they are
College is worthless. My son went to a 3 month C# .NET Bootcamp then got a job at 45k a year with benefits and 401k, he’’ll be making 100k in 5 years, zero college, zero college debt, zero liberal professor brainwashing ...
Well said.
GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
Sheesh, first blue football fields and now this.
Hey, it works for their football program! Consistently the best team in the Mountain West Conference
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Back when Willie Brown was a leader in the California legislature (I forget the exact title he held), he proposed a law to require the University of California (or maybe all of the public universities in the state) to graduate students at the same ratio as their racial proportion of the student body. I think he got them to pass the bill knowing that it would be vetoed by the then-governor who was a Republican.
Her favorites, of course, were the "popular" kids, especially cheer leaders, football players, and members of the school's unofficial but important-to-her sororities and fraternities.
She taught second year Latin. I learned nothing from her.
My first year Latin teacher--in sharp contrast--was excellent. She was very strict. One did not dare come to her class unprepared and not having completed home work. No one was allowed in class chewing gum or girls with their hair in curlers. No one dared chat in her class. You paid attention. You learned. She had no favorites. Everyone received fair and equal treatment. Consequently I Loved Latin. I can still conjugate the verbs, still know the declensions. When I got to medical school, anatomy was a snap because of my indelible knowledge of first year Latin. I loved this teacher. She's one of the best teachers I ever had. She taught me a lot more than Latin--including, though not limited to, fair treatment of everyone.
Imagine my disappointment when I got to second year Latin and realized that I had a teacher like the "educators" at Boise State University.
What a shame that the Boise State U. students can't have teachers like my first year Latin teacher. They deserve better than what they're getting.
I went back to college after thirty years for another course of study.
Shocked I was and dismayed at the level of ignorance, illiteracy and downright lack of discipline and respect in the student body.
One professor told the class he did not grade on the mechanics of writing or composition, but on the overall “thrust” of the paper.
Now, I understand how Michelle Obama could have written a thesis with an opening statement that read, “This thesis is about..” without having it tossed into a trashbin immediately.
