I would bet the ones that are complaining are not paying for it and I bet they didn’t have the grades or aptitude to get into the school in the first place.

How can Brown help you?

Sorry—it was low hanging fruit ;)

That’s the problem. They aren’t paying for this nor are their parents. They are getting student loans which they will default on and which will require us to pay with our taxes or borrow the money to pay from China. Free college for all ala Bernie.

I took all the higher math classes in high school because I was told it would help me in college.

In college I only took the basic math classes which were required plus I did take slide rule never suspecting the pocket calculator would shortly make it obsolete.

Out in the real world about the only math I ever use besides basics is geometry. I have used it quite a few times.

Oh I just remembered that I took statistics which I have used.

No one should hire any Brown "graduate"

A few years after the Brown "new curriculum" was adopted graduates found it exceedingly difficult to get jobs or get accepted into competitive postgraduate programs because of the "pass/fail" grading system. Employers and postgraduate program admission folks were at a loss trying to compare traditional letter grades of other schools with the Brown "P" for pass. The same folks were also perplexed by the plethora of absurd credit courses that had no relation to the traditionally envisaged course requirements of a real concentration (major). The students woke up to the Law of Unintended Consequences.

JFK Jr. went to Brown. He lost millions in business, couldn’t pass the bar exam, and couldn’t fly his plane straight. RIP.

It’s unquestionably one of the most leftist major universities in the country. Seems to me Cornell is the only Ivy you could argue is worse. Who else, Berkley comes to mind, that might be about it.

Extreme examples, but they are hardly all that much worse than the norm.

Frankly, RICO statues or even anti-terrorism laws could well be applied to most schools in the country.

None of their degrees in Transgender Studies or Critical Race Theory are worth a damn anyway, so go protest, I’m not hiring anyone from Brown.

Their activism interfered with my daughter’s homework. These **** came in the library shouting b.s. and then shoved a nice Chinese girl against the wall just because that girl was smart, studied, and wasn’t ghetto. The real source of their activism is jealousy of those who are not dumb peanut brains like they are.

I forgot Ann Coulter went to Cornell, sounds like their college Republicans punch above their weight.

They’re talking about students at Brown University, not Hispanic students.

The depressing part of all this is these are the idiots that will be working in the government bureaucratic offices all across the nation. There is no where else these morons can get a job.

The university should put them on academic probation and/or expel them for poor performance.
