What Is The Perfect Cost Of Education?
Parents, guardians, and students want to calculate the cost of college before enrollment. It helps with budgeting and reserving finances for other expenses. You also have to consider other factors not entered in the fees like professional dissertation writing and social life. The real cost of education will depend on several factors, as outlined below. … Read more
Our Orwellian Future – University Suggests System to Track Student’s Presence on Campus
The left’s testing ground for all of its idiot ideas is the University Campus. Speech codes, diversity councils, star chambers, and anti-discrimination policy that deliberately discriminates. So, no one should be surprised by this idea.
“Microinsults,” “Microinvalidations,” and “Microassaults”
It is now the job of American universities to make it as difficult as possible for higher functioning mammals to communicate. Even coexist. Welcome to Snowflake 401.
What to Study and Where
What to study and where to study it. Those are the big questions for the college bound. Bankrate.com has just published its latest assessment of the financial attractiveness of 162 college majors. What were the top majors? A majority of the top 10 had the word “engineering” in the description. The list is topped by … Read more
Bullying of Conservatives on Campus
Perhaps because colleges have been bastions of Leftism for years we are seeing a frequent bullying of conservatives on campus. Now, with the rising acceptance of “social justice” campuses are radical socialist indoctrination centers. Parents who teach their kids to be critical thinkers receive a surprise when those kids return after months of leftist programming. … Read more
73% of Republican Students Hide Their Political Views to Protect Grades ‘cuz Liberal Profs
The college campus is the microcosm of the world in which the left expects us to live. With thought police, no due process, compelled speech, and self-censorship. So, it is no surprise that over 70% of students who are not liberals hide their politics to protect their grades.

About the “Mysterious E-Mail” to Legislators

Where Colleges Ignore Free Speech Violations and the Legal System Helps
I’ve had a few things to say about free speech. More than a few. Campus “speech” is one of the more common places to land. The inclusion and diversity movements (hypocritically) invest so much time and energy limiting speech to a very narrow set of approved words and ideas that the fruit is heavy and very low.
But University administrations, as it turns out, are no better. They’ve taken to using the courts to keep from having to protect their own student’s first amendment rights.
The New Old ‘Speech Police’
You’ve heard the phrase, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” Connections. Networking. The insiders game.
How about, “it’s not what you’ve done but who you follow?” Could who you track on social media, regardless of whether you just lurk or engage, get you excluded from things in the real world like jobs or admission to a college? This lawyer says yes.
“Free” College and Health Care Starting Cost: $42 Trillion Dollars
“Nothing’s Free” is not a phrase in the budgetary lexicon of progressive liberal Democrats. We know this because they are constantly talking about Government-run programs to provide “social infrastructure” to the masses.
The latest “free” goodies to hit the narrative mill are Free College and Medicare for all. Medicare for all is single-payer healthcare. College professors are not giving up their paychecks. And a guaranteed government jobs program can’t pay someone with ‘free.’
The Urban Institute, a left-wing outfit (under) estimates that it will cost (meaning it is not free) someone (meaning you) forty-two trillion dollars to fund “free” for just the first ten years.

Socialized Education
The federal college-loan money-grab was crammed into the Health Insurance boondoggle like the last blue frosted donut testing the frontiers of elasticity on our now calorically challenged, spandex wearing constitution. And unlike the obvious fascism of the bank takeovers and auto industry takeovers–and of course the health industry takeover, this one was not over advertised. While … Read more
