What students are miserable... The cuddling of the American mind

[Jroc]

Colleges brainwashing our kids with the leftist, victimhood , mindset makes them miserable

 

[Rambunctious]

Universities use to turn your kid into a liberal... now they turn them into warrior liberals who hate their parents and grandparents...
The schools want your kids to shun their families and hate people who think differently from them...
They are trying to build an army of these kids...

Colleges brainwashing our kids with the leftist, victimhood , mindset makes them miserable

You mean Stoessel is still around?

Look, like the young adults in the video, if your college professors can "brainwash" you the problem is not the professors, the problem is the parents. I mean your job as a parent, especially to a daughter, is to instill self-confidence. All the parents that complain about this "brainwashing" are only incriminating themselves, calling attention to their utter failure.

One of the young ladies mentioned that she got more respect from her professors when she started to buy into their bullshit. I find that hard to believe. From my experience college professors, especially the really good ones, relish conflict and debate.

Take affirmative action. I mean this debate has been going on for half a damn century. 1981, political science class. The professor, a minority, is demonstrating affirmative action. She asks for three volunteers to come to the front of the class. She has one climb piggyback on another , the third stands alone. She then tells them to race across the room. Then, she has the one riding piggyback to switch to the individual. She said, "That is affirmative action".

Oh hell, I am going off. I call bullshit and asks for the control of the classroom. The professor complies. I stroll up to the front and ask the three volunteers to return to their seats. Then I ask for three more volunteers. When they come up, I repeat the professor's exercise, at least the first part. I proclaim, now "that" is affirmative action.

The professor seems perplexed. The class is engaged. I explain. Affirmative action is not about reversing burdens. It is about switching them. I ask my three volunteers to step down and request two new volunteers. Now everyone wants to play. I pick two and when they get to the front of the class I yell, "GO".

You can see the lightbulbs go off amongst the class. I turn to the professor and tell her that is the way it is supposed to be. A fair race, no burdens, level playing field And, just to paint a picture. I am a white, mountain boy, Appalachian redneck. I am wearing my usual, faded blue jeans, concert T-shirt from some hard rock band covered with a flannel shirt, and cowboy boots. And a deep Southern Appalachian accent. Completely out of place amongst all these preppies with their Izod shirts and penny loafers. And in my best "Waterboy" imitation, except it was before "Waterboy", I drawl, "Mama always said, two wrongs don't make a right".

The class explodes. They are whooping and hollering and the professor just got schooled. Yeah, I aced that class, and we never spoke about affirmative action again.

It starts in primary edumacation....The colleges crank it up to 11.

The only problem I have is what classes are these topics being discussed in? I never took a class in my bachelor's or master's classes where these topics would ever be appropriate, and I have an education degree for my masters.

Nobody who goes online to decry the evils of education seems to have set foot in a school in at least several decades.

Parents shouldn't have to worry about their kids being brainwashed indoctrinated into the liberal mindset...they pay a lot of money for the kids to go to college...nobody pays for the b*******
