Trump can’t solve this problem. It started in the 20s and won’t stop until
(a) parents quit throwing money toward the expensive private colleges
(b) state legislatures fight the public colleges

My alma mater. I wonder if Wharton has removed Donald Trump’s portrait from its Wall of Fame, like it did with Michael Milken’s?

“For some reason, whenever I hear the word “inclusive”, I want to jam the end of a baseball bat into the mouth of the person saying it.”

Doesn’t bother me so much. I usually am content with wanting to shove a #2 pencil into their ear.

Then everyone should get free credit for British Literature or cancel it off their required classes. Oh, no, wait, can’t do that because the college wants the tuition that comes from the course and it’ll tick off students when they try to transfer without the basics.

Just remembered my British Lit prof was a Playboy centerfold. By then, she had greying hair and had a furniture problem - her chest had fallen into her drawers.

I particularly like that Snowflake appropriately includes the word FLAKE.

But, at least younger generations will have some chance. They won’t all be forced into state owned indoctrination centers.

And it becomes clearer each and every day that the movie IDIOCRACY was actually a documentary.

LOL. Assuming they can read, much less comprehend.
Your optimism is refreshing, though.

Don’t forget “empowerment.” And my fave, “sustainable,” which the snowflakes seem to think their tyrannical utopia will be.

The goal of the communists/socialists is to rot the education. Another is to rot the culture. In another era of America this would be unfathomably and a President of the United States being an alum from the prestigious Wharton School would be celebrated.

The key thing to remember when hearing certain buzzwords spoken by leftists is that they are not using these words according to their actual definitions, but rather according to what feels good to them. Thus:

inclusive = not including any combination of white, straight, Christian, conservative males.

diversity = non-white liberals marching in lock-step conformity of views. The “diversity” of an area increases in proportion to the decrease in its white population.

divisive = anything or anyone that the libs don’t agree with.

empowerment = reducing the power of people who actually accomplish things (in particular, white men) and artificially inflating the power, real or perceived, of those who have done little or nothing to earn it.

sustainable = something that cannot be sustained by market forces, and thus must be artificially propped up.

Fellow Quaker here. Who would have guessed that there would have been TWO conservative Penn alums?

Who wants to bet that these same people consider ebonics (”eek ook muddafuka ugh fo shizzle”) a valid language?

That’s true! And his Supreme Court picks will fight off the urge to round us all up into camps.
