The Left Wing Students are now at war with the Left Wing College Professors. And all this race stuff, this is out of hand. I couldn’t afford to go to a university and instead attended a community college. I also worked PT, lived in a house with 3 other students, lived on ramen rice and beans, we had one phone for the house, a push lawnmower for the lawns, no video games, and no time for silly protests like this. Sounds like college today has too much free time for students, not enough education (too liberal) and even the professors are joining in on this (They must have too little to do also)

So why does college cost so much more then when I went, as the students and professors have nothing to do and no educational value is coming out of it?

Why cost so high? Supply and demand. Students are willing to pay it, so schools are happy to charge it. Prices will keep rising until students stop paying the price. And students are happy to go to any length - including confiscating the money from others thru police power of the state - to make those payments.

What they’re forgetting is education is free. Public libraries are open. Internet brings most of the sum total of human knowledge to their phones. Innumerable people are willing to spend inordinate time helping others learn.
What they’re forgetting is certification, live personalized professors, and buildings with extensive resources aren’t free.
