Yep. I met with one of my old mechanical engineering professors this past summer. He is now the Dean of the department. In our conversation and reminiscing about the old days, he told me to be thankful that I went thru when I did. I asked: “Why’s that?” He showed me the new undergraduate engineering curriculum, and it had a full 18 semester-hours of additional “social justice” classes!!!! The engineering department initially protested it, but in order to keep their national accreditation, they had to add them. Basically, they were blackmailed into adding them. To accommodate the additional 18 hours of brainwashing, they had to cut some of the technical electives that would have been taught instead.
I asked him if all the “advanced basket weaver” curriculums had to add 18 semester-hours of basic engineering and he said; “No. They don’t. They’d never pass.” IF left unchecked, the insane Left will totally destroy this country. They are the BORG of this century.
I’m wondering if colleges also have to “adjust” grading curves to accommodate minorities who want to be an Engineer, for example, but just can’t pass the same courses white students pass. At one time in the last 9 years, elhi schools were required to punish as many white students as minority students regardless of the situation.
I already see it with the recent engineering graduates. It is now impossible to have even a technical disagreement with these snowflake engineers, even if other experienced engineers and manufacturer’s try to explain how something works. Mansplaining. Oppression. Run to HR because the little feelings got hurt.
I would like to work a few more years in the profession, but with all this nonsense approaching the level of a Maoist struggle session, I’m about ready to hang it up and go back to my first job out of high school - dishwasher.
