Best at what?

Anti-American and anti-White indoctrination?

I love these lists.

And, their rank is...quantifiable!

Brown and Duke are usually just outside the Top 10, but both of them made it.

Brown - alma mater of Hermione Granger (aka - Emma Watson), the brightest witch of her age, according to Gary Oldman!

UC Berkeley is almost always in the Top 10, but they crashed to 15. I blame Gavin Newsom.

Now they recommend you spend six years to get that four year degree, and they PRODUCE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST?

I remember when my son enrolled at ECU in 2008. The School Promo flyer recommended you take 12 hours per semester for five years to get your four year degree, and to have the time of your life.

The school called in Guyana and told me a month after enrollment that he still needed his Student Loan Application signed by me, his parent. I told them I paid cash for his education by check; they told me it was a requirement to fill out a Student Loan Application. I told them I would not. The damn Dean then called me for the same. I asked him why and he said when they pushed student loans it was a money maker for the school and helped keep the costs of an overall education limited to five years.... Those student loans were for 17,000 USD and the fourth year was 19,000.

I paid cash for four years costing me 50,500 USD and made my son get a job. When he didn’t do his 15 hours, I sent him to summer sessions with no trips to Guyana, Hong Kong, Spain or Rio de Janeiro, as he was accustomed to living with a dad in the State Dept.

When he was finished with his four year degree, I gave him a second degree in one year, then his MA in two. It damn near killed me, but nobody is in debt.

Had he attended this new recommended six years for a 4 year degree I only shutter to think about the debt amassed for the average student.

My son got two BA’s and a MA for the price of six years student loans on daddy’s dime, and part time work.

That’s like rating the best out house.

Well, *I* would certainly want to know which ‘houses were on the lower end of that list. There are standards.

Or extravagant marble towered casino, where you spend all your money and walk away with nothing.

Just to twist that knife more, I am resigned to it being FSU and Georgia in the Championship Game, the ultimate Gator Nightmare.

Members of my immediate family and myself attended four of those. Wouldn’t give you a nickel for them today. All über-woke now.
