Campus Reform has listed the top five looniversities in America for Far Left Crazy bias (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11556).
San Diego State offered a course on “removing Trump from office.” Amazing, what you can get academic credit for, these days.
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities hired an abortionist to “train” others. Public outcry has made them back off on the actual hiring. Your tuition dollars at work!
At the University of Michigan, a professor refused to recommend a student for a program of study in Israel… because he doesn’t like Israel.
University of Southern Maine gave academic credit to students for traveling to Washington, D.C., to “protest” Brett Kavanagh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. I wonder if they offered extra credit for clawing and banging on the Supreme Court’s door while the justice was being sworn in.
University of California-Berkeley “disavowed” a Student Senator for citing her Christian religious beliefs as the reason for her unwillingness to support the “transgender” movement. The usual round of groveling afterward didn’t save her.
America has too many colleges and universities, too many students wasting four to six years of their lives in classrooms, too many Far Left Crazy wackos “teaching” them, and way, way, way too much money being squandered on tuition and fees. We are “educating” ourselves to death. These institutions desperately need to be fully defunded. Let them survive in a free market–if they can.
I’m surprised that the university where I taught didn’t show up on the list. But I guess the competition is really fierce these days.
To friends with children or grandchildren in high school, I’ve begun recommending that the kids take a year off from school and get a job — any kind of job — while they look around, get an idea of how things work in the real world, and figure out what they really want to do (and not do) for the rest of their lives. Then they can decide whether or not they want more education, and if so, what kind and where they can best get it. And as a bonus, they’ll have earned some money in the meantime, and learned some responsibility.
Very wise advice, but not very PC. When secular education’s higher degrees are presented as something to worship, it is hard to convince young people to do what’s best for themselves.
They narrowed it down to 5 looniversities because the list really includes 1,000s of colliges.
my alma mater, Rutgers, had “beyonce studies” 2 years ago.
Great advice, Phoebe.
Everyone in my family who didn’t go to college makes much more money than everyone who did.
I didn’t go to college and I can’t complain. I did build a lot of experience along the way.
Wow some of these schools and what they permit and do are horrible! I think the UC Berkeley one is the worst!
Hasn’t it been one for a very long time?
True but its still shocking to see what they do
Berkeley has been a mess for over 50 years. Why does it continue to receive public money?
They all get public money. It’s a mystery. We spend vast amounts of money to undermine our country.
It amazes me that no one seeks to put an end to this foolish waste of money.
A big, big factor is that the teachers’ unions are huge funders of the Democrat Party, and the looniversities train up their voters.
It’s a perfect scam.
