10 Essential Life Skills Your Kid Will Learn At An Ivy League University
Babylon Bee ^ | 04/29/2024 | Babylon Bee

Ivy Leagues have been making the headlines lately, but what can students actually learn at a prestigious university these days? The answers may surprise you.

The Babylon Bee is here to put parents' minds at ease with the following list of critical life skills their kids will learn at an Ivy League school:

1) How to plagiarize dissertations: Learn from the real experts.

2) How to pitch a Coleman pup tent purchased from Walmart by George Soros: Those little poles can be tricky, so learning how to assemble them is a big deal.

3) How to chant in unison by repeating whatever the leader just chanted: Few things prepare students for life in the world than doing exactly what everyone around them is doing.

4) How to hate all the bad people: And by "all the bad people," we mean whoever you're told to hate.

5) How to kill at 50 yards with your body odor: You can be a deadly assassin!

6) How to have drug-induced gay sex for Palestine: The residents of Gaza are sure to be truly appreciative and will in no way want to throw participants off of rooftops.

7) How to have an opinion on conflicts between countries you're not able to locate on a map: You don't have to know where it's happening, why, or who is involved to know that one side is totally wrong.

8) How to leverage a degree that costs you $500K into a lucrative job selling overpriced coffee: Each $8 cup of coffee will get you that much closer to achieving your career dreams.

9) How to treat STDs in the field: You never know what new disease you may wake up with each morning, so knowing how to treat them is key.

10) How to make your parents reconsider their deeply held liberal values: In just a couple more decades, liberal education will build America into a solidly conservative nation.

It's plain to see that an Ivy League education is just as valuable and respectable today as it ever was. Don't worry about what your kids are learning, because it'll shape them into integral, productive members of Palestinian society.

I think one thing that has been missing that the Bee covers well here is pointing out how incapable of conscience, independent thought these creatures really are. (Calling them people would insult the human race.)

I don’t think there is much happening between their two ears beyond what can be achieved by teachers and professors directing attention to popular Facebook posts. The bad ideas about power and authority granted by these academic environments have festered for so long they’ve become operative axioms from which all further thought becomes reflex.

It was long after I graduated, but the only tent cities pitched at Gonzaga University are during basketball season.

When I was there, you could start your 5 minute walk to a game five minutes before gametime.

12) facing the harsh reality that even in a liberal-infested tent city on a college campus protesting the most chic issue of the day, still nobody wants to sleep with you.
