Remember when students that went to college actually went to learn something? Oh, there are still those that do but I am totally shocked at the sheer number of students that want a diploma but don't expect to have to learn anything along the way. They are the same ones that coasted through school because it became more imperative for students to be promoted so they wouldn't *feel bad* rather than having to meet the same standards that other students had to meet. The grade curves got lower and lower and lower so that it was made to seem like the schools were actually achieving better success rates than they deserved. That's why so many kids weren't able to read in high school. Worse...these same kids became the ones that insisted on being admitted to college (or else it was *prejudice* that was preventing them from admission...not the fact that they were self-important idiots!). They also took out huge student loans that were not spent for learning..except marginally when they couldn't help it. Now these self-same students are the ones that are trying to get free college education and have all the student loans just wiped out.
Tell me...when was the last time that you heard of anyone that majored in Philosophy go0t a job in that field? I'll bet most people can name at least a half dozen courses of study that are totally useless in the job market...but do you think that some of these kids actually care? No, they just want to be able to say they went to college even if they can't put a sentence together in the proper tense. *I are smart!* <<Rolling eyes>>
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that they are now *afraid* on campus and have forced a major university to send out a letter that states they can call the police if......get this!.....someone hurts their feelings (and that makes them afraid???). Oh this is just what the men in blue need...stupid damn phone calls because someone's feelings are hurt? Do they really think that their feelings won't be hurt out in the *real* world? It makes me want to cry for all the REAL students who WANT to learn and not just coast along on their *feelings* of being forced to learn something or having their feelings hurt by such unrealistic expectations? And to think that some truly deserving students were probably denied a spot because of these idiots. We have truly seen the death of all common sense and it's not only died, it was strangled!
What I find truly pathetic is all the parents of these students not seeing that it is THEIR fault that this crap is going on. They have never felt that their children should have to face the consequences of their actions. They have refused to believe their kids were ever guilty of ANYTHING...no, no, no...it was always someone else's fault or it was prejudice or any number of reasons other than the fact that the kids were never made to DO anything constructive. And they were never punished for the bad choices they made, either.
It's tough being a good parent...it requires follow-up and toughness of resolve. Bad parenting is much easier. It's a refusal to think your child/children are anything but picked on and falsely accused. It requires nothing further but to let your child/children do what they want to do. It's easy. That way the parents lives are not disrupted and the kids find out that they can do whatever they want, get whatever they want and people actually are AFRAID to deny them anything. How did we come to this end? I don't really think it happened quickly. It was baby steps.
It started with small losses of basic liberties. One after another after another. Then the *politically correct* crap started. Now all those incredibly stupid things that we didn't bother to protest because we thought that *no one with any sense would take this seriously* has come to bit us in the ass. This is how I think most dictators ended up in power. Good men said nothing until it was too late. I'm afraid we've given over too much power to the most incredibly stupid people and they get all indignant when you object to anything they want to do. Obviously,, there is something seriously wrong with YOU, right?
I'm not going to go forward any further with this right now. I'm too tired to do it justice and I hope I am not in the minority. Leave a comment if you have something to share.
Love you all. Keep warm. Stay dry. ***Hugs***
