Students Face a Class Struggle at State Colleges

I think the main problem is we treat young adults as children. There is a thing called getting a job and working and paying for your education. Many do it all the time. College is NOT a time to free ride and party. These young adults and many of their parents expect taxpayers to dish out the money for 4 years of education while the young adult does not work. Yeah old fashion I know. But my niece worked her way through college and now is getting her masters degree all payed for by her. Let us get real here. It costs about 6,000 a year for a State University. You can easily work and pay that. Even if your job is flipping burgers. But you must be a responsible adult.

Wrong thread?

A free man educates himself. Begging for a handout is debasing ones liberty and the education that results would, by definition, be inferior.

Nope, but not a list ping. Fits with that story last week or the week before about Berkeley’s screwing around with its physics program.

I attended SFSU. Although the Rap class was not offere while I was a student, I did take the class entitled "Variations of Human Sexuality" which was taught by an old marxist homo who got a kick out of forcing suburban kids to view gay and animal porn. It was the most popular class on the entire campus circa 1997; it was held in an auditorium that held about 700 people, and not everyone could get into it, due to fire laws.

I can truly say that I am a poorer person for taking that class. I can never look at an eel/chicken/pony/cow/homo ever again without feeling revulsion.
