Utah Pitches ‘Guaranteed’ College Admission–To All

Guaranteed admission today; guaranteed degree tomorrow.

(I haven’t been up to posting much, these past few days, but I can’t let this story slide any farther.)

This is one of the silliest damnfool things I ever heard of.

Utah has “guaranteed” college admission to all high school students in the state, regardless of their grade-point average (https://ushe.edu/utah-launches-admit-utah-a-simplified-path-to-college-admissions-for-all-high-school-students/). Utah has 16 state colleges and university. Pick one! And you’re in!

Gee… What if you’re a juvenile delinquent? Fooey! If you’re out of jail, you can be in college. What if you’ve flunked every subject because you’re a nitwit? Poohbah! There’s no such thing as being too dumb to go to college!

I could not find any mention of how this scheme is to be paid for… but I think we can guess by whom.

And once you’ve got guaranteed admissions for everybody, one and all, how big a step is it to a guaranteed degree? In the subject of your choice, of course. I’ll have a Masters in Nuclear Physics, please.

At that point a college education will have no more value whatsoever. It’s been inching toward that goal for years. Looks like Utah wants to get there first.

“‘Higher Education”: A Model That Can’t Work’

Herd ’em into a place where they can’t produce anything.

It appalls me, how easily one little germ of howling stupidity–for instance, a buzzword like “pregnant people”–with blinding speed infects our whole culture and now you see and here the stupid **** everywhere you turn.

All this–with the costliest and most intrusive “education” system in world history!

‘Higher Education’: A Model That Can’t Work

Yeah, yeah, send everyone to college! It’s a brand-new way to destroy a civilization. Civilization has survived war, pestilence, famine, drought, etc., etc.–but can it survive “higher education”?

‘Most Fantastic Education Reform Ever!’ (2017)

Imagine a country in which every adult has a Ph. D.: in which every adult has to stay in college full-time until he gets one. Wow! 300 million Ph.D.’s, and then some!

Most Fantastic Education Reform Ever!

It might take you 25 years to earn your doctorate in Superhero Studies, but it’d be worth it! And think of the talent pool available for Mostly Peaceful Protests! Why, we’d achieve Pure Socialism in a matter of weeks!

We would all be “doctors.” That’s a plus!

Wahoo! Free College!

Your tax dollars at work!

If you live in New York state and have been wondering how you would ever get that Gender Studies degree that you wanted to much, but couldn’t afford, wonder no more!

Because collidge is, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo says, the new high school, and literally everybody’s gotta go to collidge, the state has ponied up $163 million in tax monies to provide free tuition at any state-run four-year university or two-year community collidge–if your family does not earn more than $125,000 a year ( http://www.csmonitor.com/EqualEd/2017/0410/A-first-New-York-will-offer-free-tuition-at-all-four-year-state-colleges-for-qualifying-families ).

Did I say “free”? What I meant was that other people have to pay for it. The state sucks it out of people’s paychecks, that they worked for, in taxes. I mention it because many people don’t understand that the government has no money of its own. It only has what it can take from the people.

Another thing that a lot of people, including Gov. Cuomo, don’t understand is that value is closely tied to scarcity: the law of supply and demand.

What does he suppose a college degree will be worth, if literally everybody has one? And what happens when employers look at some 30-year-old recent grad’s degree in Comic Book Interpretation and say to him, gently but firmly, “Go away”?

I suppose it just might make some small amount of sense if, say, a state had a crying need for engineers, so it offered a financial incentive to students who earned a degree in engineering. But this is not what is being proposed. They are talking about degrees in bloody anything.

All this does is cram multitudes of young people into an already bloated and over-funded university system, where they provide the Democrat Party with an army of chumps available on short notice to protest whatever they are told to protest.

The only upside to this, in the long term, is that anybody in New York state with the foresight to become a plumber or an electrician will be able to write his own ticket in golden letters.

A Test to Decide Who Gets Out of Grade School

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Ha ha! That other guy he had to go out, so my prefesser he said I should come over here and rite something else from that Christin Talaban stuff that you get here every day. That guy is alyaws trying to impose his religin on everybody and he shouldnt be allowed to rite about religin unless he is writ about how not true it is.

My prefesser he has invented a test for everyone to take and if you cant pass it you have to stay in grade school till you do. Of course its easy for us interllecturals to pass it, but that is because we have been to collidge.

Here is part of the test so you can see what its like.

1. Name the 50 (fitfy) genders reckonized by the smart peoplle of America.

2. If you are allready in one gender, change over to a diffrent one.

3. Which of these causes Global Warming?  a) Income Ineqaulity  b) Homophobia  c) Captalism  d) Eating Meat  Ha ha, this is a trick question! You supposed to say they all do!

4. True or Flase: There is No God because Science says so and Science is alyays right.

5. Give ten reasons why everybody should ouht to go to collidge, and writ a parragrap about why we cant have no dumocracy unless there is more and more collidge and if you dont stay there for at least six years you cant postibly learn how to be a interllecturle.

So that is what the test is like, and it will pertect us from Christins and groups what have got no educatin. And thats all I got to say. Except PS make sure and vote for Hillery.
