By now, we've all seen the disastrous train wreck happening on college campuses across the country. The most prestigious universities currently look like shanty towns and due to poor leadership, defunded police departments, and general incompetence.
During this time, I am ashamed to hold a diploma from an Ivy League institution. I am not even sure if it's worth the paper it was printed on.
But the downfall of college campuses is not a new phenomenon. In fact, I can't say I'm surprised any of this is happening.
I can tell you firsthand about the most insane beliefs that were shoved down my throat while at the University of Pennsylvania. In a mandatory Engineering Ethics class, we were taught that all algorithms written by white people are racist. I did not realize math, coding, and numbers have racial bias, but apparently they do. Sure, Asians are very highly represented in engineering fields, but in this case, I guess we are not considered "people of color."
I wish I could say that was a lone example, but across all the departments and majors this experience was uniform. I even had a professor invite the founders of "The Satanic Temple" to class to talk about their "religion" and students were lining up at the end of class to SIGN UP. Many of these students had grown up in other religions, but were very quick to abandon them to join something they had heard about for the first time 30 minutes ago.
I lived in Philadelphia during the BLM riots, where I watched my classmates take part in destroying buildings, looting stores, and damaging public property. They justified their actions, by saying it was for a "good cause." There is no cause that justifies stealing, damaging property and holding people hostage. And the professors and students that believe otherwise need a serious reality check.
Unfortunately, you won't find this reality check on college campuses. They are too busy conditioning and training young people to further these destructive social causes.
This brings us back to the current protests. At Columbia University, even after a campus lockdown, a hostage situation, and an NYPD intervention, the president still made a statement saying the students were fighting for an important cause.
What a wonderful example of terrible leadership!
Many professors at these universities are even worse, encouraging and even joining students to partake.
Even as protesters rip down the American flag and replace it with the Palestinian flag, and even though most participants have no idea what they are actually protesting, this terrible leadership continues to push for chaos on campus and radical ideological change across society.
Since colleges are becoming increasingly unaffordable and students come out of these institutions as proud professorial agitators, remind me why we are still buying into this "education" system?
As an Ivy League grad, let me tell you: It isn't worth it.
