Why College Is Never Coming Back. 

 

“It’s great for families, who’ll save money and take on less debt putting kids through school.

 

It’s great for kids, who’ll no longer be lured into the socialist indoctrination centers that many American campuses have become.”

 

 

 

If only there had been some sort of warning.

 
 
 
 

My son is going back for senior year of college.  Found out today his classes are all online.  We had already committed to an off campus apt at $600/month, but it sure would have been nice if they made a decision about distance-learning a month or so ago.  

 

I also read where the Excelsior scholarship may not be funded for the coming year.  This begs the question...child was gifted year one and two by the benevolent guardians of NYS virtue, lose it this year, child cannot afford to attend, loses interest and pursues another career.  At that point, they are $20k deep and owe the full boat as i understand it.

APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT? 

 

Fordham Demands Apology For Student’s Tiananmen Protest. 

 

“Fordham University administrators are demanding that rising senior Austin Tong submit an apology letter to the school by July 23 after he posted to Instagram a photo that shows him holding a firearm in honor of the Tiananmen Square protests, according to a disciplinary letter from the school.

 

Tong risks suspension or expulsion if he refuses to apologize.”

 

 

Austin Tong is refusing to back down after posting a photograph in which he criticized China’s Tiananmen Square massacre. Fordham’s insistence on a public apology here must mean they get a lot of money from the PRC or something. As I say, it’s easy to tell who’s on the payroll, or at least on the team.

 

Fordham University President Joseph McShane needs to be called to account for this bullying.

THEY’RE UTTERLY IGNORANT OF HISTORY, BUT THEN AGAIN THEY GO TO DUKE: 

 

Saying policing is rooted in ‘slave patrols,’ Duke students demand all campus policing be abolished.

 

 

Student “demands” should be ignored, especially when they represent the views of a tiny fraction of students.

 

Which they pretty much always do.

 
 
 
 

Attention all rapists: Duke is wide open!

FDNY official defends excluding famed 9/11 firefighter from procession for being white

 

A top FDNY official says it’s “most definitely” acceptable to exclude a white firefighter from a ceremonial unit based solely on his skin color, The Post has learned.

 

Cecilia Loving, the department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, is defending a decision to kick Lt. Daniel McWilliams — one of three firefighters in the iconic 9/11 Ground Zero flag-raising photo — off a color-guard procession so it would be all-black.

 

Loving testified at a state Divsion of Human Rights trial on McWilliam’s complaint that he was the victim of racial bias.

 

When McWilliams showed up at a 2017 memorial mass to honor deceased members of the Vulcan Society, a fraternal group of black FDNY firefighters, he was barred from holding a flag in the color guard.

 

Regina Wilson, then Vulcan Society president, asked McWilliams to “help in a different capacity” because he is not black.

 

Loving, who is black, testified there is nothing wrong with that.

 

“So, a request for an all-black color guard is not discriminatory?” McWilliam’s lawyer, Keith Sullivan, asked in the trial.

 

“No, it isn’t,” Loving replied.

 

Asked if it’s acceptable to request an all-black color guard, she said, “Most definitely.”

 

Loving said it’s okay to replace a white member with an African-American to “uplift our identities and our separate ethnicities in order to instill a sense of pride and community and support for one another.”

What happened to an America where you could freely speak your mind?

by John Kass

 

Original Article

 

The angry left-handed broom of America’s cultural revolution uses fear to sweep through the our civic, corporate and personal life.

(Snip)

Last week, with violence spiking around the country, I wrote a column on the growing sense of lawlessness in America’s urban areas. In response, the Tribune newspaper union, the Chicago Tribune Guild, which I have repeatedly and politely declined to join, wrote an open letter to management defaming me, by falsely accusing me of religious bigotry and fomenting conspiracy theories. Newspaper management has decided not to engage publicly with the union. So I will. For right now, let’s deal with facts.
