The MN policemen’s sham convictions make me sick with fury.
All because, thanks to the education and the general IQ level of the jury the race hustler prosecution pandered to and flat out threatened them to vote to convict the policemen or else - we now are forced to accept that humans now somehow breathe out of our necks.
Kind of like how “mishandling the evidence” - not - somehow changed the DNA of OJs ample blood evidence at the crime scene.
The real issue is the israelis training our police officers to treat fellow citizens like they treat the palestinians. Black people have no power, we are being used as proxy warriors for people who. want to destroy this country.

I’m an old working with mostly youngs - and their school loan balances are absolutely horrific.
English major with $135,000 debt - working in the warehouse. Forever. Doesn’t have a car because he would never qualify for a car loan and and cannot save for a heap because rent and the school loan payments take up nearly all of his take home pay.
“Gaming” major who went to a private expensive school for that - $79,000 in debt - only worked one year in that field and for unknown reasons cannot get another job in field - works with me in sales - literally cried when I told him the bullshit Biden loan handout of taxpayer money to SL holders wasn’t going to go through. “Are you sure? Really? I was going to get another car with that!!!”
Marketing major who is working in lower level accounting position - wants to go to grad school now because “school loan payments are suspended while I’m in school” - (and adding $50000 to her loan balance if not more!)
I took a few university classes for the hell of it, a couple economics classes, stats, and a political studies class. I took English 110 because I thought I would learn how to write more good, or weller.....
What I remember from the class, intercession, taught by an Indian (feathers) feminist is that 'skyscrapers are shaped like they are because men are patriarchal.'
I didn't know that, so I guess it was money well spent.
Garbage in- Garbage out. Your personal world view has very little to do with making a living wage for most people. These, non-fiction courses don’t really apply to the bottom line.
The problem with higher education is that it is a business. However, businesses that create or produce thing are responsible for their products. If the product fails they go out of business or are sued. Higher education is not responsible for their end product. They just pass people on to get their degrees, pay their tuition. In a different world which will never exist, if colleges were responsible for the people they turned out, they would have stricter standards on the way in, and would be monitoring their progress while they were being educated. This was the way medicine operated up until the last decade. Now doctors graduating from residency programs or medical schools are just passed along even if they don’t have a skill set required to take care of a corpse.
Kids/parents/Scholarships are paying a whole lot of money for these menu offerings. The listings seem like a joke, but they are serious. Maybe if the list was made into a sort of old school Jeopardy scenario one could manage a grimace: "I'll take 'Queer Lives in the Global South' for 500, Alex." They are seriously making a course out of homosexual sleeping partners!
They’ve lost faith in all levels of public and private education. Ask billionaire Elon Musk. Our local parochial schools are beginning to ooze the woke slime.
Unfortunately, there are professors today that do not encourage students to take a stance and defend it - to learn how to argue in a cogent manner. Certain professors merely want you to parrot back what they have told you. But clearly that approach is not promoting critical thinking - which is what a college degree should at least represent. English 101-102 should be about learning how to read and write critically in the arts and sciences, and should be something carried through the entire curriculum. The article you cited shows where we are today, and I see nothing but decay. (I had a professor that loved Faulkner!)
I say that this is one of the most hopeful periods in my life. When I was a kid in the 90’s the universities went unquestioned. Now that they are this obnoxious they’ve made themselves irrelevant. I went to college in the 2000’s and saw all the crap that there is today, but everyone- even and especially red staters - saw it as a necessary evil to get into the middle class. Now people finally get it.
“As evidence of how Brown vs Board of Education created this diversity culture, consider how Lisa M. Stulberg and Anthony S. Chen have found that, in the decade following the Brown decision, several elite universities adopted affirmative action programs as part of a new civil rights mission in higher education.”
Note: Those are only the course titles; Imagine what they actually teach, study, say and do, in those classes! It's got to be "off the charts" madness.
Our educated elite insist that we worship the Sacred Black person. That is the orthodoxy we must not question.
They have made it the bedrock truth of our legal system. De jure, de facto.
Constitution, shmonstitution! The only law is non-discrimination. Diversity is the only solution.
And diversity means “too many white people here.”
Amy Coney Barrett wept with her two adopted black children over what was done to George Floyd. You can look it up.

A major issue in the US today is the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on the left and the right.
Go crawl back under your rock.
Why? For the same reason smart people have lost faith (or interest) in the New York Times.

Democrats: Buying continued loyalty from those they completely screwed over.
Republicans: Forced to pay for the indoctrination of those who went to college to be taught to hate Republicans.

Did she explain why football stadiums are shaped like....?
I’m curious about this listing: “Anthropology 1080 American History before Columbus. (Pre-1900)”. Pre-1900? I should say so.

I may not have the full answer, but I do have my own answer:

That’s BEFORE the CRA of 1964!
Great data capture Ann.

Amazing how Harvard University, et.al. doesn't give a hoot about this losing faith. Why should they? That is the 'ivy tower' archetype.
Can any of these courses help a person with an almost $Half Million education balance a bank account or repay a student loan?
No?
Then these students have been underserved by overpaid elitists!
Nothing on the novel "Shakedown", life and career of Jesse Jackson?
