Charlie Kirk telling a few snot nosed college kids to 💩 in their hats and wear it. Crazy how student activists have all the answers. Problem is, they don't understand the questions

Charlie Kirk is really good at this. So are Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin. Stephen Crowder and Candace Owens are, too. Entertaining stuff, even though it is a bit depressing. The college students in these clips are always dumb, but seldom in doubt.

Isn’t outwitting woke libtards tantamount to clubbing baby seals?

They’ve had the brains educated right out of them.

Best point I saw him make was about how Universities load up students with completely unnecessary courses. I’ll add to that: even courses with technical emphasis are almost always based around concepts irrelevant to industry.

Example: I am a degreed computer scientist. A strong number of my courses even _within_ the CS department involved things I’ve never come close to using. I can see adding courses for related fields (math, science, engineering, technical writing) since it’s likely that those skills are needed. But that, software engineering (which was a master’s level course when I did it) and computer language support with algorithm development... that’s enough.

Let’s say you want to be a teacher. You need courses in your intended specialty plus communications, writing, and perhaps some social (culture) studies, and I’d argue for some psychology. That’s enough. Not biology. Not chem. Not economics.

Two years should be quite sufficient for technical degrees.

To do this right, schools should also be going out of their way to partner with industry for internships to show kids exactly what they’re getting into... and then teach in that direction.

Trouble is, most professors don’t actually have real-world experience... and that’s a major part of the problem (along with forcing extra classes on students to prop up their revenues).

(end rant)
