College Students in Favor of Wealth Distribution Are Asked to Pass Their GPA to Other Students

The grade distribution angle is the exact same one I use in describing how wealth redistribution works. And to a person, the result is the same: a resounding “Hell no”!

[Gene Eric]

>> He said many students on college campuses support high taxes on the rich, but when put into relative terms, cringed at the thought of spreading around their academic wealth.

Spoiled, ignorant teatists!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Reality—what reality?

Leftist brainwashing at it’s finest overrides reality.

[Silentgypsy]

An excellent educational stratagem.

[microgood]

Nothing dumber than a college student. Too many hormones and not enough life experience.

[vpintheak]

Socialsim is great until it hits home isn’t it?

[Repeal The 17th]

“...proposes that students with good grades
contribute their GPA to their academically sluggish friends...”
-
A better experiment would be to go to the “academically sluggish” and see how they feel about grabbing some GPA
from the students with good grades!

I think this guy is on our side. He seems to be schooling his socialist brethren.

[Steven Tyler]

It’s easy to spread around that which you do not have, yet.
When one earns something, like grades, seems these students want to keep the fruits of their labor

[ken21]

cool!

[Bernard Marx]

And to a person, the result is the same: a resounding “Hell no”!

But do they comprehend the hypocrisy of their position? I doubt it. Cognitive dissonance in action.

[ThomasThomas]

Colleges and high schools have done this for years by giving a grade to a team of students working on a project.

Here's a link to the video.

This is an emial story from 10 years ago

[ilovesarah2012]

I saw it on Fox yesterday.

[Ballygrl]

Awesome! Hypocrisy on display!

[PubliusMM]

THIS is a great idea! A perfect demonstration of the spread of the ‘entitlement mentality’ in the US.

Would love to see it...

[Fester Chugabrew]

A better experiment would be to go to the “academically sluggish” and see how they feel about grabbing some GPA from the students with good grades!

Even better: Let the University bestow the same GPA upon all students regardless of merit, and make it legally binding.

[Ernie Kaputnik]

Exactly.

To wit, I have been saying the same thing for over 25 years:

Liberals are in complete favor of the progressive agenda until it affects them personally. And when it does, they become conservatives in the blink of an eye. They are no different than politicians and pimps. Bunch of douche bags!
