“We pretend to study and they pretend to issue us diplomas”
the “college” in my town (Evergreen State College), does not have grades. They have “evaluations” that is a written discussion between them and their prof, and in some courses, student peer review.
Problem is, employers have no clue how a chem major (for example) did in their course work.
Wouldn’t you love to have a chemist in your testing lab who was liked by their fellow students but couldn’t tell a dropper pipette from a molecule?
Colleges are the Petri dish for cancerous communism.
A great purge is needed.
When the bogus Black Lives Matter protests started in Cleveland, it wasn't local blacks populating the protests. It was students bussed in from suburban colleges, most noticeably Oberlin, who knew what was best for inner city blacks. They were totally used suckers used to ignite the movement.
Then, a little later, they found out they were in danger of failing courses because of missed classes or exams or whatever. So they demanded to be let off the hook for that. (so much for commitment to a cause and making sacrifices).
These prima donnas are already a pathetic joke. So now they want bad grades to be disallowed. GIVE ME A BREAK. Oberlin used to be a highly thought of college.
Someone’s special snowflake doesn’t understand what average means.
I’d say make them at least watch “The Wizard of Oz”, and them award the ThDs. (”That’s... Doctor of Thinkology.”)
Ya know who went to Oberlin? Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the mayoress of Baltimore, the one that was worried somebody going about their own business might hurt or inconvenience the rioters and looters exercising their First Amendment Rights.
I propose a sign for every structure in the USA, if it was designed by a graduate of Oberlin:
“Warning: This structure was designed by a graduate of Oberlin college, which abolished below-average grades.
Only liberals are allowed to enter.”

I don’t care what Oberlin College students want. Do they want Ds and F’s banned? Fine with me. Do they want to be exempted from taking tests? Fine with me. It makes it easier when I’m reviewing resumes for a job. If I see Oberlin College, I throw the resume out.
“A lot of us started suffering academically.”
Well, you’re the one paying tens of thousands in tuition every year (or your parents if they are suckers). If you choose to squander that by not making academics your top priority, nobody is going to try to stop you. Welcome to the wonderful world of adult personal responsibility, kiddos.
Obvious end-point for progressive education. Four years (maybe) to become a farce. Hirable only by fellow snowflakes which is, unfortunately, a growth area for (duh) Academia, Foundations, Environmental NGOs, Government Bureaus and HR Depts within businesses (required by Government - of course!)
I won’t write the script of the oppressors!!!! :)
Don’t worry, she can still put her college activism on her resume and get a job with a community organizer funded by taxpayer dollars!
They’re working on it, by eliminating the value of a college “education”. It won’t be long and students will start to wonder, “Why am I going to college if all it amounts to is me being $75,000+ in debt?”
What does race have to do with the market? (crickets)
anti-effort mentality + expecting effects without causes + emotionalism = irrational libtard loser
Just give everyone above average grades.
I doubt that they actually studied anything. They honestly can’t grasp why someone in mid-Nineteenth century Europe didn’t consider “other races”. Or why not sexual orientations for that matter?
These nimrods believe that anyone who doesn’t think exactly like they do has nothing to offer them. College is an absolute waste for these people.
