GREAT WORK - EXPOSE THESE ‘Rats TO THE LIGHT!!!
I’m becoming more and more convinced that my kids are not going to college.
Wonder if they're taught anything about him? Doubt it.
Just keep them out of any major which has "Arts" or "Studies" in the title. There will always be lots of need out there for nurses, accountants, engineers, architects, etc etc etc.
"Transgender Women's Community Justice Studies"? Not so much. ;-)
Great piece. Read it last weekend. Perfect!!!
Well, let’s see... Franklin Pierce, Thomas Reed, Longfellow and Hawthorn, George Mitchell, Bill Cohen, and Robert Peary are, to name a few, alums. You would be hard pressed to find another school of this size that has produced whose graduates are so well known. As far as I know, Rush flunked out of Southeast Missouri State in less than a year - maybe he’s not the right guy to be talking about formal education.
By the time they get to college age, it’ll either all be available online, or there will be no society to support a college system.
“...Just keep them out of any major which has “Arts” or “Studies” in the title. ...”
Anyone possessing a “degree” with this stuff on it is not to be considered educated in any way, shape, or form.
They have not ever seen anything academically demanding, and are to be considered as stupid, vapid, and without morals as our president.
They probably do.
This is now.
Institutions change. From 1820, they change a lot. It's pretty clear that none of those gentlemen (except possibly Cohen and maybe Mitchell) would even recognize the place as it stands.
My own alma mater is unrecognizable, and not for the better.
And I'm not sure that attacking the messenger's lack of a formal degree is a rational response. I've two degrees - one from an Ivy - and I'm seeing the same thing here.
My wife’s a Bowdoin Polar Bear and a conservative Republican. Can’t wait to show her.
As far as I know, Rush flunked out of Southeast Missouri State in less than a year - maybe he’s not the right guy to be talking about formal education.
And I bet Rush knows a whole hell of a lot more American History than any Bowdoin graduate.
He should have just called it Bowdown College.
They'll do just fine.
They don't have a clue - or a care.
I know a woman whose father was a prof there. He's marxist through and through. So is she.
Such a shame. I can remember Bowdoin was a powerhouse on the old College Bowl tv show. They punched way above their weight. Now they're all the kinds of students Obama would love - "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
When I'd see him, the one thing that absolutely set him off was the quality of the students being sent to the school. On average the so-called “best” students had to do a semester to one and a half semesters of remedial work in their areas of study to be ready for the level of education they were doing. He swore on a stack of Bibles that each year's group of incoming students was actually dumber than the previous group.
The skills, abilities, and education level needed was not there among incoming students; instead they'd been indoctrinated to think they were the best of the best. They could not think and could not do the work expected of them. He said they were “affirmative action” students, in the sense they were accepted because of the money they paid the school, and not on ability.
He told me the graduates only worth their degrees came from these hard sciences, medicine, engineering, IT, and math because they actually knew something and could apply that knowledge. The liberal arts people didn't know squat and their degrees were useless.
That was 15 years ago. He went on to get his double PhD in both physics and chemistry. The quality of the students in colleges and universities has continued to decline since he graduated. Now, 85% of these newly minted grads cannot find jobs, have huge loans incurred for worthless degrees, and they are living in their parent's basement.
Granted, because of my field the students I encounter are science types to begin with, so my experience is limited in that regard - but I know some pretty sharp young people and I'm comfortable thinking that someday they'll be in leadership and decision-making positions.
