Well, I thought it would also go to say the degree needs to be a science degree because I also think we all agree that those gender study participation trophies they call degrees aren’t.

“Universities are scam warehouses of propaganda”

Yes, they are. We need to completely rebuild what we call education in this country.

My thoughts exactly.

Sophomoric public virtue signaling.

Making sure his peer group knows he has fully imbibed the Kool-Aid. Written proof the brainwashing has implanted properly.

Wonder what his major is?

Probably political science (with a social justice concentration) or maybe philosophy. Well. time will tell if he can ever earn enough in those fields to ever repay his student loans.

When cw2 starts I think it should be a major goal to burn as many universities as possible to the ground. They are the head of the snake.

I still make mistakes, but with good intentions I never feel like I have to worry.

Thankfully, he is not studying to be an engineer or a pilot... or even a doctor!

Why I choose not to be politically correct:

It is a communist weapon to destroy Western Civilization and Biblical Christianity, the twin pillars of personal liberty.

Nota Bene:

Affinity groups = only non-white, non-Western, non-Christian, non-conservative.

There is no freedom of association with Marxist political correctness.

They may be required to think and write in a doctorate program, but that is no guarantee of ANYTHING!

I have met some VERY REAL DUMBASS PhDs over my lifetime!

Politically correct means non-offensive and non-controversial.

He doesn't understand political correctness - it's the practice of normal, balanced people to walk on egg shells and pretend reality isn't real so the emotionally crippled social misfits have nothing to be offended about - and they will always have something to be offended about so the truly politically correct person locks himself in a small room and waits to die so he can't offend any more snowflakes....

Count me out.

Universities may be cesspools of liberalism, but they are also the repositories of knowledge. Burning them down would be akin to what the Muslims did in Alexandria.

I've take numerous classes as an adult at one well known university with a deservedly very left reputation (in addition to another not quite so left) and if one sticks to academic in classes history, law, religion, literature; and avoids any class with the word studies in its title, the political balance might even be slightly right, among both students and professors.
