Another government-created problem requiring a government-created solution.

See how that works?

It’s not the university’s responsibility or right to do anything about what the student does beyond paying his tuition.

I’ve seen this before with students discussing using certain ADD pills. They claim that it gives them extreme focus on their particular topic. Though, it seems awfully stupid to be taking medications that you don’t actually need.

So Schummer prefers they buy their speed off the streets.

Sen. Charles Schumer, speaking from his Midtown office on Sunday, said up to 35 percent of all college kids report using stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin as a study tool.

I wonder what percentage of HOR and Senate members are coked up. Better than that average I'll bet.

Aside from anything else, this is not a federal problem. It’s a state problem.

So what do we conclude when states give up autonomy for federal money? That too many people are magical thinkers who have the notion that if I send a dollar to Washington, it will be ten dollars when they return it.

But more than that, we can also see that the Congressswine WANT more power. They don’t WANT the states to be free. Instead of saying, “Here’s your money, get out of my face,” they say, “We’ll give you money and we get to say what you do.”

Schumer would be a better Senator is he stuck to his knitting. But he would have to forgo jerking people around.

Get rid of Academic Doping? Does that mean he’d get rid of mind-numbed teachers? The ones who teach anti-American stuff?

I’d rather see a crackdown on political dopes.

The best way, imo, is to get rid of the college system altogether. In the college system, it’s naturally geared towards getting people to do what is necessary for good marks but doesnt guarantee that students really master the material.

It would be far better to bring back the guilds, where you have to qualify yourself through years of experience and have to write an extensive exam that does not lend oneself to cramming for it.

Good Lord.

With the scandals of the IRS targetting the political opposition, the NSA creating a large encyclopedia of every citizen's communications, the purposed tragedy in Benghazi, and the FBI tracking journalists, the best Schumer can come up with is COLLEGE KIDS TAKING RITALIN???!?

Has there ever been a more useless pol than Schumer???

Require, require, require, make a history, form a
data base, get permission, take notes.

“Why can’t they just abuse caffene and nodoze like
we do?”, said Schumer shakely.

What a country! There are so few real problems to solve that our elected leaders can focus on stuff like this!

He should contact His Arrogance and Secretary of Education .... it’s called Common Core and is the most prominent form of academic doping in use today.
