it looks like some ####### hung a poster. anyone can hang a poster unfortunately.

yeah...it's not an equal comparison. and i'm not coming at this from any political side. what i see posted from both corners has been so provocative and unnecessarily for the sake of viewers that it's hard not to be sad. the division is deep and looks to be getting no better. just when i saw someone pushing that colleges are spreading anti-american idea to warp the young, social media has to be called out.

sure, but the core idea hasn't seemed to change. universities lean on the liberal side and were consider a place for debate, protest, etc. kids were killed on the campus of kent st. nothing new. what's new is the level of virulence towards everyone's political ideas, which is social media driven. any "protests" i saw were tame...it was nothing like the nonsense that happened at columbia, where i think the president of the university completely failed those students. it's also a different population than where i went to school.

i had to take a year of, (i honestly don't remember what it was called) cultural studies. one class that i picked. guess what? i didn't become radicalized!!! at all? did you child change their opinion on politics? did they become anti-american? no. it's a scare tactic my friend. i graduated 25 years ago and this was a truth then as much as it is now. edit: and is this the typical college experience? i went to a boston college. we had to take a year of religion, a year of philosophy, and a year of cultural studies. it was a catholic liberal arts school, so it made sense.

i think it's just easier to acknowledge that everyone is gross.

most of what we find politically is click driven. i suppose everything is now. i'm not denying that these classes exist either. i can't imagine of of the nonsense you'd find at the university of vermont in "culture studies". not to ***** on vermont, but some schools are more liberal than others, and some classes are more liberal than others. if this is a required class for her major, then reconsider your major. i just don't think this is the college experience as most are being let to think. you want to be an accountant, take business classes. i guarantee you won't find much politics in the typical core majors. not once did i hear anything about politics in organic chem. a lot of it is what you sign up for.

the faculty a lot of the time writes the curriculum. i can't tell you home many texts i bought just to read one chapter of a book that the professor wrote. i can't hear the audio from where i am, but what class was this?

i mean this i completely agree with. campuses are notoriously liberal. i'm not disputing that at all. it's been that way for decades, so this is nothing new at all. the idea that a group of radial liberals who want to tear the world is the new group of graduates is the flavor right now. i don't agree with that aspect. we just don't see droves of liberals graduating and taking over. it's just not happening. we all know kids who are recently graduated that do show a liberal side. how many of those same students over a few years lean right back in the other direction. once economics and family is involved, ideas that are important shift, and people leans towards a side. my wife is that perfect example. she went from rallying for obama while in college, to screaming, "thanks biden" any time the cost of eggs went up a nickel. we don't engineer kids. we can direct them to be safe, smart, considerate, etc but we don't get to pick who they become. nor do colleges. on what? can you contribute to this or what?

i have no idea where those specific stats are from. i'm in agreeance with you that the majority are, but i'm having trouble wrapping my head around 95%. i also had a hard time wrapping my head around that 77% of young people take a parent with them to a job interview, but what do i know. the rising costs of college are insane. that with interest rates are making it very unappealing to get a degree. not that a degree is for everyone, but is should be a reasonable goal if someone wants this.

quite easily. so all kids that go to college are a blank slate that can be molded into anything the college tells them without their own opinions getting the way. i get what people have been saying about colleges, but no...this is no institution that takes pride or tries to produce anti-americans. just like high school kids needs to be scared of speaking their beliefs. nonsense fear tactics. i wonder how many kids are walking out of clarkson this year as an ant-american, or geneseo, or buffalo.

do i think kids can become liberal/radical in college...yes. do i think the university system in this country is pushing out anti-american citizens...no i don't. at all. sorry man...i misread.

yes...the internet has given all sorts of #######s a voice. it happens on all sides, but show me where 95% of college profs and admins are on one side? again...do you think colleges are cranking out anti-american students as mentioned above? based on what? your feeds? guess what...most good kids go to college for their careers and to have fun. not everyone has a hardened view on politics like this forum does.

i think it depends on the school. not all colleges are what your social media feeds show you. let me ask you a question...if you had a kid, would you let them go to college if they wanted, or would you refuse if fear of them turning radicalized? and for what it's worth, this was a discussion about colleges turning students anti-american. that bull####.

so there are differences of beliefs. the palestine protests are so over the top it was disgusting. some colleges didn't want charlie because they don't want the controversy that come with him. it's easier to avoid it than to deal with it. you're still not explaining how a university just radicalizes someone. they don't. the majority of college kids just don't care.

so one college professor said that and that's representative of all college teachers? you can find a number of people like this at any university. how is this shocking? it still doesn't represent the university a whole, but rather one view in it.

and you assume it's the school and not his internet/social media feeds? who exactly does a school radicalize somone? colleges have always been a place of protest and a more liberal environment. this is in no way a new idea. do you really think college kids are as wrapped up in politics like you guys are? they're not. other than a small handful, they really aren't. college kids are inherently selfish in nature. it's the age and place. most kids just want to work towards their future, party and hook up. that's it. the idea that someone who enters college with a set of beliefs are going to be totally shifted in the other direction is nonsense. can it happen? of course, but this idea that universities are creating the army of liberals is just absurd. it's a scare tactic for clicks.

kinda. can you explain how that would happen? i feel if a kid is already left leaning and goes to college...sure. it can certainly get worse. if someone is majoring in women's studies or some other useless major...again sure. but how does the college system itself create this group of young individuals that hate america?

high school kid are going to be attacked for their beliefs? wtf?

anti-american views are popular at colleges? so kids that go to college are being taught to hate their country? do you think young adults are going into college loving their country, but leave angry because of what someone taught them?

jesus chirst. are we not going, "college bad!" mode? education is one of the greatest things you can give a young person. we the rising costs, there's just no wiggle room for fooling around. go in knowing what you want to get out of college, and prepare for your future. pick a major that will hopefully put you into the workforce and move forward. the problem with education is the quickly rising costs, and especially the interest rates. they can range from 8% on the low end, and i've seen some that are 15% and over. that's criminal. i ended up with 120k in debt, but consolidated at 2.5%. it's reasonable. the indoctrinating, anti-american nonsense? get off the internet for a bit.

if they can start resting guys in the 3rd again this week...i'll be thrilled.

the bills are going to get people fired this week.

happy birfday!

The Utah governor is nailing it right now.

holy *****.
