Mike Rowe gets it.
And he always has.
Unlike far too many Americans, he understands the value of hard work and why more of us (especially young people getting ready to go to college or already in college) need to do more of it. Especially right now as we're watching schools like Columbia, Yale, Barnard, and others eating themselves with the pro-Palestine/Hamas riots.
Protests.
Whatever.
They say tomato ... they're wrong.
Take a look at this from Rowe:
For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting…

Trade schools where they're not calling for the extermination of Jews.
Crazy, right?
His post continues:
... today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.
Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning - effective immediately - in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.If I had a kid at Columbia, I’d be livid. It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.
“They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, ‘Strike, strike Tel Aviv,” said one terrified student. Followed by, “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” “Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.”
In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews. For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.In the meantime, mikeroweWORKS is accepting applications for our next round of work ethic scholarships. Deadline is the end of the month. It’s worth noting that the careers we’re training people for cannot be taught, or preformed, remotely. It’s also worth mentioning that we accept donations year-round and spend the money we take in with great discretion. You can apply for a scholarship, or donate, at http://mikeroweWORKS.org.
We do not usually include links to sites where you can donate BUT we'll make an exception here.
On point, and possibly your best pitch for funding EVER! I wouldn't hire an Ivy League graduates to wash my car.

These Ivy League schools have done so much damage to themselves it may take a generation to fix it.
If they can fix it.
Run for President, Mike.

We WISH.
Thank you, Mike.
A tree contractor dropped by my house this week. He's 21 and a co-owner, drove a nice truck, clean, smiling, well spoken, a go-getter. Had I needed his service, I'd have hired him.
We need fewer Talkers and more Doers.
This is the Way.

Fewer talkers and more doers.
Like the sound of that.

Yes, that is a fact. And they’ve put everything in place to protect themselves.
Mandating equity destroys excellence. When Academia replaced the meritocracy and the commitment to seek and disseminate knowledge lest they be considered racists, they destroyed the foundation of their institutions. They transformed themselves into a diverse mob of mediocrity where neither freedom or real scholarship exists.
I personally don’t understand the Jewish connection to socialism, other than that there is one.

They got prideful and thought that they could never be brought down. Arrogance creates laziness.
Antonio Gramsci is grinning from his place in hell.
It is antisemitic and reminder that antisemites are idiots. Horkeimer hated Zionism, when he wrote this. In fact, he would oppose Zionism into the 1950s, changing his position only because the state of Israel existed and was home to so many Jews. Horkheimer’s reponse to Nazis and German Marxist lack of concern for Jews in Nazi Germany was to break from this. But he still wanted to take the religion out of Judaism. Other cultural marxists remained anti-Zionists, but joined his effort to subvert Judaism with critical studies. What is happening today is exactly what they wanted as a group.
Unlike the schmucks making and fapping to memes at “Smash Cultural Marxism, I’ve suffered reading Horkeimer .

Oh buy the way, no student loans that the taxpayers will be forced to pay off..
FYI an email from my friend regarding your post to me on the Frankfort School:
Thanks for sharing that we me, brother. Indeed, almost all of the Frankfurters were Jewish, rich, college kids. Some had come through Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. Frankfurt was all about the Marxists turning from Karl Marx’s economic arguments, which they concluded, had led to their disappointing lack of growth, to developing ways to kill off Western Culture, the last support for Capitalism. Some of the most evil bastards that ever lived. We now see what they’ve spawned, the modern day fruits of their ideology. These little Bolsheviks on college campuses don’t know anything about Horkheimer, Adorno, Lukacs or any other Frankfurters. Like they said, we’ll do it without a shot and they won’t even know why they blindly chant our slogans.
Yep.
