The average five year old is smarter than this bureaucrat jerk.
There’s a purpose for two-year community colleges where an occupational theme would help the lesser of society’s public education system achieve something of value.
Pushing the same crowd of lessers into a four-year college program....dumbing the program down to meet the lesser capability....and just accepting this as normal is a bogus attitude.
This is why we now have four-year graduates working as the rental car franchise manager at various airports....a job which until the early 1990s was simply a high school graduate guy in his forties or fifties. Such managers now utilize their college skills to note the trend with Fords or Chevys....or just making schedules for the crew to clean the cars when they are turned in.
I’m pretty sure college kids are evolved enough for free speech , but I am absolutely certain a sizable percentage of the faculty and administrative staffs of most of our Universities are not evolved enough for free speech
Free speech for mer, but not for thee
Even worse, four-year schools have a whole array of “remedial classes” that the tokens are required to take to bring them up to a high-school graduate level (white guys aren’t in those classes because they are rejected outright); they don’t count as credits, and are an indistry unto themselves.
When I was in school people I knew that went to community colleges often did so briefly because their state schools of choice had initially rejected them; after a semester or two they could transfer into a four-year school. Nowadays I see community colleges getting renewed life from 1) people who can’t afford state schools, but are college-oriented, and 2) people looking for work in a field that requires college - like police officers - but an associates degree will fulfill the requirement.
Lowering the standards for preferred minorities to enter four-year schools is just a business decision; whether by grants, financial aid, or loans, the schools are “selling” seats. Private schools end up with the least-qualified, as they’re forced at this point to take anyone willing to pay.
But they are smart enough to vote multiple times (at home and school) for Democrats, right?
Revolt is coming.
An argument for returning voting age to 21.

Yep, I was one of them. I’m still fighting the same battles. The favoring of one identity group over another. The tendency towards totalitarianism on the Federal and State level. The limitations imposed on the right of free expression. The encroachments on the right to defend oneself. Burgeoning and unaccountable government bureaucracies. Police brutality. Corruption in the courts, the legislatures, and the executive, of both the states and the feds.
Nothing’s changed in these 50 years except the names and faces of the oppressors and their ostentatious political orientation.
Perhaps we should take the vote away from all who are not developed.
Then raise the voting age to 21 seeing as most of these idiots have no clue about taxes, life or paying their way in the real world.
“...The night of the long knives approaches ...”
That works really well when only one sides has the knives...
Not so well when the little guy can stab back...
Bunch of “Strelnikovs”, when they were the “oppressed”, they were all for free speech....Once in power, not so much.
The Berkeley Free Speech Movement began in Fall 1964 on the U of CA campus. Mario Savio and other student activists protested UC-Berkeley’s rules prohibiting their distribution of information and collecting donations for the civil rights movement. http://abhmuseum.org/
"America's Black Holocaust Museum"
(fishtank disclosure - I'd never heard of this museum before....)

....so they can have abortions and smoke pot, but they can’t talk about those things?
Yes, the Free Speech movement on campusus was a big thing when all these Marxist doofuses in public life went to Berkeley and Columbia in the 60s - 70s; so now they want to ban it in case the coming generation decides to rebel against "the (liberal) Establishment" again soon. Cowards.
You meant "ostensible"?
Awesome post, btw. See my post just above.
The pleebs simply can’t handle freedom, that is why we need a ruling class to lord over us.
