I had one of those forehead-slapping moments today while on the campus of the expensive private university where I'm going to be teaching this Spring. I stopped in the bookstore and saw prominently displayed a book titled "Understanding White Privilege" and it hit me like a bolt of lightning: the students at this university, whether they are black or white or polka-dotted, are going to graduate saddled with six-figure student loan debts. It makes me sick at heart just to think about it. And that is the sort of thing they should be getting outraged about, not "white privilege" or "sexual harassment" or "date rape" or any of these other ridiculous ginned up issues.
Your thoughts?
A third-generation freethinkerBrilliant insight.
Read some more truly free thinkers.
"The Great U-Turn"; "American Theocracy",
"The Fountainhead".
You've got the priorities straight: big problems and big
answers matter.
And we are being fed unregulated non-fictional
garage by corporate monopoly and publishing
gatekeeper tsars manipulating weak minds through
lies, mantras, pseudo-religious emphases, excluding
realists, excluding scientists, slanted headlines
and false definitions.
I predict a great future for you. All the best.In France, education is free. France is a mixed economy. But, in America, you have an economics curriculum promoting only free market capitalism.
Why are microeconomics and macroeconomics required, yet logic is an elective? Part of the freeper brainwashing on campus?Someone recently said "Lynch that N*&&a" at a Palin Rally. If we don't have proper relations with our own Americans that how can we expect to be respected on the world stage.I agree. It's little wonder the real problems are nation faces don't get addressed when we are so obsessed with such superficial non-issues like race and gender.Well educate me on what is so sick at heart to expect a person to pay for something.
You got an education, pay for it, you knew before you started there would be loans to pay.
You got a new car, pay for it, you knew when you picked it up there were payments due.
You got a house, pay for it, you knew when you moved in there were mortgage payments due.
What is so difficult to figure out about you have to pay for what you get? No one is forced to attend higher education, it is a choice they make, it is a debt they incurred of their own decision.
Oh and by the way those six figure loan debts are what is going to pay your salary, have you considered taking a pay cut to reduce the cost of higher education? If all of the "free thinkers" offered their knowledge for free would not the cost of education go down? I was beginning to think that all the professors in our schools where bleeding heart liberals,and flower children from the sixties and early seventies. This is great ! You will make a great teacher!Oh How I agree. I have two sons who graduated with a tonne of debt on their shoulders. And as for the rubbish people get worked up about, how about making it simple. No one can treat you badly, whatever the reason. That would get rid of most of the potty laws. I fail to see how being murdered because you're black is worse than being murdered for your purse. #If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
