Economist Thomas Sowell once said, “The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees.” I believe him. I’ve always believed that. Now, the rest of the country might believe him too.
A sense of evil has disseminated across elite campuses since October 7, the day Hamas organized a coordinated offensive on southern Israel by massacring 260 civilians at a music festival.
Hamas presented us with the worst of humanity — the slaughtering of the innocent, the abduction of women, and the beheading of babies. Yet various student bodies responded to the acts of terrorism by supporting them.

The scholarship of the Ivy League is fraught with final exam cheat sheets, final papers written by ghostwriters and students paid to attend their classes for them. Their diplomas are as phony as ones from diploma mills like “Shaftesbury University.” Once they get into the working world they are as useless as a tit on a frog. Many go into politics as a way to get rich without a lick of work.
And only a very tiny amount of gray matter. They’ve fried most of it.
