    The kids are not alright

      Having one douchebag student out of a whole classroom is nothing new. The douchebag being indulged by the powers that be is. The problem isn’t the kids, it’s the old fucks in charge.

              Yeah, because professors are the ones raking in millions of dollars per year and driving up the cost of college so high. 🙄

              The professors are not the ones getting paid the most. Not by a long shot

                My salary was not covering the cost of living and raising a family. Bailed on the US ed system for greener pastures.

        The problem isn’t the kids, it’s the old fucks in charge.

        A brief visit to College Station will fiercely dispel that notion. Most aggies regardless of age are in favor of this.

      What’s sad is that while these students are technically adults, they are being coddled like little babies.

      If you cannot come into contact with something that conflicts with your beliefs during college, you are a thin-skinned little snowflake and need to get the fuck over it.

      That’s what college is for, FFS. It’s not just supposed to be a trade school that is there to reinforce the beliefs and preconceptions of every student. If you come out of school believing the exact same things as when you went in, well, then, that can be considered a failed education.

      I wouldn’t trust a school that thinks the executive branch makes the laws anyway.
