Garbage article, critics did not erode confidence, the ivy leagues and the DEI dolts they give degrees to did it all themselves, indoctrinating instead of educating.

Times is gaslighting hard.

I worked for 20+ years at Harvard Medical School's largest teaching hospital.My job resulted in me interacting mainly with Interns and Residents...junior doctors.

Every June we'd get a new batch of doctors...Interns who just graduated from medical school and Residents who just finished their internship.

A hospital as famous and respected as ours attracted the top graduates of the top schools.Not surprisingly we got a lot of Harvard grads. We used to joke about how easy it was to tell the Harvard grads from graduates of other schools because the Harvard grads could talk about the uvula for six hours...nonstop...but if you handed them a pop up umbrella they were clueless.

“Together, they find common cause in the skepticism of societal pillars from Wall Street financiers to college educators and politicians. These critiques have corroded public opinion on the value of U.S. higher education, just as the rest of the world treasures the real contributions to the economy, quality of life, scientific knowledge, and cultural enrichment provided by American colleges.”

Total USDA 100% Bullshit. The CRITIQUES have not corroded public opinion about the Ivies. The reality of what they represent does. We see people educated there and teaching there and the utter immaturity and childish ways they think. Elizabeth Warren, Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Kagan, Sheila Jackson Lee (U of VA and Yale) The rampant antheism, perversion, a third of Harvard is LGBT. Suzan Rice was Stanford...not exactly Big Bang Theory there. Obama? Bush? Janet Yellen from Yale.

You name it, the elite universities have rampant corruption, grade inflation, and poor educations to a self anointed class they deem our “betters”, meant to rule over America.

Every bad idea in America today, MMT and runaway inflation, BLM, intersectionality, homosexuality and trannies, global warming, gain of function COVID and Chicken Flu, etc all come from them.

No..... our criticism is not the cause of the problem.

Higher education has long been the target of satire from the Marx Brothers to Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School.” All institutions need constructive feedback to respond to changing societal needs, but the ideologically driven attacks on schools have lost their grounding, not to mention their humor, and risk promoting an age of ignorance.


It wasn’t ideology when they are attacking us.

I’ll await an article on this subject (and many more) when one is written from one with a real degree...not journalism.

Ivy League and elite colleges have created more misery and murder than anything else in the past 150 years. Only college educated idiots can think marxism is a good idea.

There is absolutely nothing special about Ivy institutions other than endowments and connections. Nothing.

Ivy leagues imploded with the liberal infestation, tenure, woke, DEI cancer.

It’s that simple... not seeing that is part of the problem.
