Our students should be favoring the STEM programs.

What the heck are they studying?

Don’t tell me ...I don’t want to know.

Regards

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

The best-kept secret of our marquee universities is a radical fall-off in standards as once defined by their own, once much ballyhooed, tough requirements. Our best universities customarily now ensure that 70-80 percent of students in their classes receive A’s.

There are some other schools that aren’t WOKE ( my grandson goes to one ), and other worthwhile majors besides STEM; however, that’s all that gets talked about.

"...For example, it’s illegal to segregate university events or facilities by race. But universities sidestep the law by offering race-based graduation ceremonies as “auxiliary” or “additional” events and commemorations. Racially segregated dorms are deemed “theme” houses open to all but de facto widely known as racially exclusive. If the so-called “white” minority at Stanford—some 22 percent of the student body—opted for an “extra” white graduation ceremony, theoretically open to all students, the university would—and should—shut it down promptly..."

I use this technique often to illustrate the double standard with Leftists. They refuse to acknowledge anything, but knowledge of the truth or facing it in reality is not their strong point.

Universities waged a war against the federal government over segregation many years ago. That didn’t go well for the universities. If precedent means anything it will go the same way this time.
