Chickens coming home to roost for universities

Higher education is the most coddled, subsidized industry in America. Rates of tuition increases make healthcare look flat. Meanwhile they're just building water parks for students and hiring a thousand diversity administrators. MBNA Joe made student loans nondischargeable in bankruptcy, so you're stuck with them.

Higher education needs to get disrupted.

There are many elite schools in older, urban areas and Columbia, U. Chicago have always had problems with crime in the surrounding neighborhoods. Nothing new, and predates the Fox News hysteria about BLM and liberal academia.

Oh ok got it Random my bad no need to worry everyone. Why you don’t tell those kids families it’s just right wing, Fox News hysteria.

Muddy: You need a class in logic! You're blaming universities because a shooting occurred on their campus and you're recommending that people refuse to patronize that university? By that logic, you should stay out of Walmarts (recall the Walmart shooting in El Paso) and Fed Exs (Indianapolis, 2021). I guess you should never send your kids to another school (too many school based shootings to mention) or day care (Sandy Hook). These all involved more senseless deaths than the university deaths that you cite.

Why not put some of your energy into solving a problem rather than blaming innocent victims? Preventing gun violence should not be a partisan issue. Criticism and blame are easy, but solutions are more challenging. So, what solution are you proposing Muddy? What is Fox news suggesting as a solution to gun violence? Arm everyone? We're getting closer to that goal. How will you evaluate if that "solution" is working out?

It’s amazing how fast they go from :

“fuck the police” and “no gun toting fascists on campus” and “stop mass incarceration” to :

“we need more patrols on campus, but also in the adjacent neighborhood where students live, and not just security guards, real police who can lock up the thugs preying on us”.

You need to cum over so I can relieve your stress Muddy 😉

Random is right. Liberal universities have always supported criminal scumbags. Not new.

Liberals all over are the same : rules are for thee, not for me; all animals are equal but some animals are more equalnthan others.

Thats is why liberals want to do away with police while spending thousands of dollars on their personal security. That is why liberals can ban guns, but they and their security remain armed. That is why blacks and other minorities need segregated safe spaces with no whites allowed, even though our fathers and grandfathers fought to make sure all Americans had equal access to the same facilities.

No, it does not make sense, it's liberal logic.

I don't think anyone is worshipping criminals. This nation has always had a high crime rate, and now it is higher than what you find in many other industrialized countries.

Rather, I think people, particularly in universities, are looking at the idea that you cannot make the world safe just by locking up all the criminals, or even by executing them. Rather it is social conditions which create criminals. So the more you lock up, the more crime you will have.

^typical lyinhg leftist. Only person murdered was an unarmed woman. Just keep watching CNN and MSNBC who program you NPCs.

@gammanu

"all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."

Four legs good, two legs better! The pigs are all walking on two legs now.

Insurrection attempt is what homosexual bottoms call a riot. Its like a protest for the sub-humans on the left.

I don’t know. I think you can back the blue and defy the palace guard.

^^^ keep up da great work Muddy! Show dem guys who da boss is!

Keep an eye on the new University of Austin. It’s an attempt to start a university that returns to a time when they were places of learning, free speech, and questioning all doctrines unlike the indoctrination camps that all modern universities have become.

Hope everyone notices that "The University of Austin" is not the same as "The University of Texas at Austin."

I predict that "The University of Austin" will attract right-wing kooks like @Mark. An entire wing of the university will be devoted to whining about critical race theory. The sociology department will be devoted exclusively to studying why BLM is a Marxist plot to overthrow the US. The college will sponsor medical research studies to prove the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, livestock parasite drugs, Borax baths, and anally-administered ultraviolet light.

BLM is just a terrorist organization.

Mark94, is this new University of Austin Texas State Universities System, a private not-for-profit school, or a for-profit private enterprise like University of Phoenix, Kaplan University, Rasmussen College, etc.? If it's another private for-profit school, then it would really have no credibility. I only consider those when hiring for entry-level low-skill positions (CNAs, medical assistants, etc.), and give preferential consideration to community college grads.

Now that the left-wing college lunacy has reached a tipping point, there’s a huge market for colleges that aren’t dominated by lefty academics with no practical sense of the real world and no tolerance for any student who has their own opinion.

There will still be a lot of colleges that can’t/won’t move from the far left, but in the end it’s a business and if their extremist politics are keeping potential applicants away, and there aren’t asses in all the seats in the classroom, they will moderate.

Its a simple fact that all lefties are violent because they're failures. Inferiors are like that. The best we can do is to encourage internecine warfare between the far left and thew left, in the hopes they exterminate each other. Imagine living in a city run by democrats, where BLM has an influence. All crime, all the time, looting, burning and rioting. BLM is modelled on the true filthy rats of the world, the palestinians and their democratic cum guzzlers in congress.

And now your seeing the lawlessness in LA move up into the Hollywood hills. That murder in Beverly Hills, armed robbery at a party in the pacific palisades. Now it’s on the Hollywood elite door. When it happens to the working mom, daughter, son, when they get assaulted, robbed, raped, killed the limousine liberals do not give a fuck. What happens when it starts coming to them? Are they going to do the right thing or do what they always do and double down and get even more woke. I have no idea, trying to predict what mentally ill people are going to do next is beyond difficult

Woke Seth Rogen replied to a tweet by a working guy that he shouldn’t complain - it’s not a big deal getting your car broken into repeatedly and the L.A. is lovely.
Stupid, out of touch “Let them eat cake” rich liberal.

I live in a college town (Boston). Academic liberals love poor people and minorities, so long as they live an hour plus away and don't depress property values. They hate gentrification, unless they're the ones doing it. They think no civilian should own a firearm, until something in their neighborhood is broken into, then they need a phalanx of armed guards. They teach students that any accumulated wealth is theft, then lobby for the SALT deduction cap to be eliminated.

They're some of the most obnoxious people in America.

College students are often the reason for crime. A desire for drugs fake ids hookers etc coupled with a lack of street smarts and a sense of entitlement isn't a good combo. They make themselves easy marks.

College students are the base of the Democratic party who cancel their student loans so they have more money to buy guns and commit crimes. Amen TET. Liberals only see black people when they go to a fundraiser and see waiters and bartenders. Look at the weirdos and deviants the left supports. Kind of funny that the faces of the democratic party are all foreign socialists, communists and jihadists.

^ Cancelling student loans is a wealth transfer from the common-sense kid who apprenticed to a plumber and went into business for himself, to the book-smart dumbass who took out $250,000 to study pre-barista gender-studies at Oberlin. It's straight up patronage.

Ditto for illegal immigrants ("undocumented" my ass), another part of the class that serves rich white coastal progressives at below-market wages.

Then there's developed societies where an education is a right. Like health care or housing. Go figure

^ And there are societies where kids get educated in reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, rather than addressing someone by their proper pronouns. There are societies that send kids to trade schools rather than putting them in useless degree programs. There is no societal benefit in funding a 4-year vacation.

BTW, brush up on your conception of rights. They don't come from government.

Trolladon you love 🇨🇳 China

Are you here to talk about stripper hoes or are you just trolling with alt right q anon shit

^ The title of this board is "POLITICAL DISCOURSE" not "THE FRONT ROOM."

Still waiting for you to connect anything I've ever said to QAnon. Calling shit "alt right" is your excuse to dismiss it, and not stress your pea brain.

Yeah I dismiss right wing nut jobs who would never talk like this in person coz they'd get laughed at and exposed for what they are

^ I'm sure I have more in person political conversations than you, and even my friends on the left say I express myself well and with facts.

You, on the other hand, wouldn't get away with half your insults in person.

Ooh yeah, this thread reminds me that later on today, I have to remember to go to the website of a college to stream a lecture that will be happening live on their campus about the badness of and how to fight wokeness, political correctness, and cancel culture…which oddly enough I found out about the event from the left-wing Westword earlier today. 😀
https://www.ccu.edu/events/2021/12/dls-m…

You would be afraid to talk to me like that in person

^ Oh, Icey, you're such a big tough internet man! Can I please suck your cock?

Muddy's right as usual! Universities can have great security if they just keep handing out badges to every swinging dick Derrick Chauvin wannabe that comes along: https://www.wcia.com/news/u-of-i-police-…

“Mark94, is this new University of Austin Texas State Universities System, a private not-for-profit school, or a for-profit private enterprise “

The University of Austin is organizing as a private school with no affiliation with the Texas State university system. They are seeking not-for-profit status as well as pursuing accreditation. They are still in a formative stage and haven’t even secured a location for the campus. However, they’ve raised $10 million and have an impressive list of backers guiding them ( including people on the left like Larry Summers who value free speech).

Crime is up in most big cities and the areas around urban campuses are not immune from that. Students on these campuses often have a false sense of security. Many of them are liberal and the liberal media they consume and liberal college professors they listen to in class either understate the amount of crime or don't talk about the amount of crime or who commits it.

These young people are told that half of all crimes are committed by whites so black neighborhoods are as safe as white neighborhoods and whites who talk about how blacks are crime prone are racists. The flaw here is that total crimes are being looked at and not crimes per-capita. Blacks per-capita are three times as likely as whites to commit crimes and several times as likely to commit violent crimes. These young people are also often told that blacks don't really commit more crime. They just get arrested more by racist cops. They are also told that most whites are murdered by other whites. This may be true but it is because most older whites have learned to stay out of dangerous inner city areas. I'm not saying here most blacks are dangerous but you need to have an accurate perception of reality so you can estimate your probabilities of being a crime victim in various situations and many young people are not able to do that. Low income black neighborhoods next to big city college campuses can be quite dangerous.

@Mark: "The University of Austin is organizing as a private school with no affiliation with the Texas State university system."

_____________
Yes, nutcase, but naming their new university "The University of Austin" obviously piggybacks on the reputation of "The University of Texas at Austin." The average person wouldn't know the difference.

^ This is surprisingly common. UPenn vs. Penn State, for example. Hardly deceptive marketing.

The hypocrisy at the University of Chicago is enough to make the liberal minds in Hyde Park explode.

Safety is used as one of the University’s greatest marketing ploys, the implication and underlying message is that there is something dangerous to be kept safe from, that there is something intrinsically dangerous about everything outside the University.

But how can that be? After all the students and faculty support BLM and defunding the police. The campus urges students to embrace the culture of Chicago and reject the mainstream thought of the racist fueled notion that the surrounding neighborhoods are dangerous.

So if the university touts its huge security force and other safety measures, what is it exactly do the students need to be safe from?

Crazy wackos do these crimes, not BLM or police defunding activists. And Chicago has culture, but this has nothing to do with psychopathic crimes.
