You know what I would love to see Trump do? Stick it up the ass of these universities, have them accountant for their high tuitions and then cut off their federal money when they LIE about it. The damage these universities are doing to the country is astronomical, with their leftist indoctrination polluting the work force and politics with these brainwashed leftist lunatics they graduate. I was talking to another Freeper about this the other day: This all started in the 1970s when the WW2/Korean war era professors starting retiring and were replaced by these hippy radicals who then went on to radicalize the students who in turn became professors and it’s been a never ending cycle ever since. Look how crazy they got the kids today - Crying like babbling fools because a career crook didn’t win the election, and then this garbage with safe spaces and blah blah...These are the kids who will end up in the media, politics, you name it, and they do tremendous damage to the country. Look how close we came to having the most corrupt politician in US history as President. It shouldn’t be like that, besides draining the swamp in Washington, these universities should be drained as well. I mean my God, they even got freakin’ terrorists as Professors now.
Bump!
To get these state universities/colleges under some form of sanity the following steps that need to be taken:
1. Freepers (and other conservatives!) tell your alumni associations to inform school presidents order restored or no contributions,
2. Get yourself appointed to the governing boards (Board of Regents , Board of Visitors , whatever they are called!).
Once there hold school president’s feet to the fire over out-of-control budgets, nonsensical degree programs, demand the enforce civility & order on the campus. Teach these clowns the words & meaning of RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI). Tell them ROI means increased tax dollars to the state which means the school & later a higher probability of contributions to the school. Every degree program should be examined in the context of ‘Does it lay a proper foundation in western civilization? & Does it make the person employable?’. Schools should be forced to send ‘a likely to be employable in a year score’ for every degree granted to all perspective students & parents. If you don’t want a “Foundation in Western Civilization” and don’t think it exists or should exist then go some where else!
3. Constantly remind the faculty & administrators that their paychecks begin with taxpayers of the state. Maybe there is federal or private grant supplementing it but fundamentally the state taxpayer is who they should thank not insult. If they want to pretend they are on some special place called “Academic Land/Planet” then they need to get their pay check and funding from that place.
4. They also constantly need to be reminded that they are US Citizens & citizens of whatever state their institutions are. If they are not US Citizens then they are guests and be reminded if necessary that guests don’t insult the host and adapt to the host as much as possible. The host will be as hospitable to the guest. Again if faculty want to say they are “Citizens of the World” then fine they can draw their paychecks and research dollars from that place.
I have other comments s to make on this. Maybe we can get a discussion thread going.
