World News See other World News Articles Title: Let the Colleges Die At a symposium in May, Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen predicted that “50 percent of the 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. will be bankrupt in 10 to 15 years.” Christensen appears to be onto something. The number of students enrolled in American colleges and universities has dropped every year for the past five years. In 2016, the majority of private and public American colleges failed to meet their enrollment and tuition targets. This is possibly the best news I’ve heard all year. And not because I’m against learning or education—it’s because American colleges no longer teach people how to think; they command people what to think, with the constant looming Sword of Damocles hanging over the head of anyone foolish enough to express a dissident thought. American colleges are no longer institutions of higher learning. It would be more apt to refer to them as state-sanctioned seminaries for the secular religion of Cultural Marxism. Instead of strolling out of college with nimbler minds, students now stumble out into the real world with their brains scrubbed clean of the ability to hatch a single independent thought. And as they enter a hostile job market with their useless Master’s Degrees in Postmodern Gender Modalities Among Hamsters, your average hapless college grad is saddled with a life-crippling average debt of nearly $40K to banksters who finance all this brainwashing. Student debt in America is currently close to $1.5 trillion—nearly twice as much as all credit-card debt combined. “The only intelligent thing to do with modern American colleges is to get rid of them.” If you’re a white male who isn’t bothered about being a white male, the current college climate is intensely hostile. Women currently account for 56% of all enrollments nationwide, and that quotient is expected to rise. As a recent article in The Atlantic put it, “at most college campuses the attitude is that men are the problem.” The larger problem is that modern higher education is so marinated in leftist propaganda, what passes for “education” is often mistaken for reality. A study from last year found that at Ivy League schools such as Columbia and Princeton, liberal professors outnumbered conservatives by a factor of 30 to 1. According to psychology professor Jonathan Haidt, social justice is now the new religious fundamentalism, and if one dare question the sanctity of the modern sacred cows, one risks ostracism at the very least…or possibly expulsion…or even, as has been amply demonstrated over the past year when anyone to the right of Trotsky attempts to speak on an American campus, you are likely to be shouted down or physically attacked. Rather than being instructed in crucial matters—such as how to detect logical fallacies and distinguish between what’s objective and subjective—modern students indenture themselves to the loan-peddlers for the dubious honor of taking inane courses such as “Kanye Versus Everbody! [sic],” “Sci-Fi Queered,” “What If Harry Potter Is Real?,” and “How to Watch Television.” While piously posing as staunchly anti-racist—whatever the hell that means, because it can’t be quantified—students are instead encouraged to channel all of their latent racial hatred toward the very idea of white people. This is why a Hispanic college professor received no reprimands for expressing this gleefully genocidal sentiment: We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It’s a matter of time. [laughter] The explosion is in our population. Neither was an Indian female professor at the University of Michigan given even a mild slap on the wrist for writing an essay about “White Moral Blindness.” It’s why no faculty members were disciplined in 2015 when a white student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst was denied entry from a “Stop White People” luncheon on campus. It’s why a black sociology professor at Trinity College was not fired for writing on Facebook that it’s time to “confront” white people: I’m fed up with self-identified ‘white’s’ daily violence directed at immigrants, Muslims, and sexually and racially opressed [sic] people. The time is now to confront these inhuman assholes and end this now. It’s why a black female sociologist became a professor at Boston University after tagging white college males as “a problem population”: white masculinity is THE problem for america’s colleges. why is white america so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population? It’s why female professors are freely allowed to suck off tax dollars for writing pinnacles of inanity such as “The Perilous Whiteness of Pumpkins.” It’s why universities across the country stop operating for a day…or a week…or sometimes permanently when their mentally deficient and thoroughly brainwashed students hallucinate Klansmen on campus or make false claims about swastikas drawn in human feces. It’s why a Jewish progressive can be driven off campus permanently by howling mobs calling him a Nazi merely because he had some ideological problems with a “Day of Absence” where white students and faculty were advised to stay off campus for a day. American colleges are taking in children who’ve been indoctrinated by pop culture and the dismal, brain-squashing death march of the public-school system to such a degree that when they enter the university system, a full fifth of them think that it’s morally acceptable to use violence to prevent someone with whom you disagree from even opening their mouths on campus. Two-fifths of them are under the delusion that the First Amendment doesn’t protect “hate speech.” And a majority of them see nothing wrong with screaming like someone whose clitoris has just been lopped off with a rusty blade in order to “shut down” anyone whose ideas upset them. And what makes me want to perform the clitoridectomies myself—without anesthesia—is the fact that my tax dollars are helping to bankroll this madness. I’m paying the government to train people to hate people such as me. I work 365 days a year and have been doing so for nearly a decade. Your average American teacher works about half the year—on my dime. American colleges no longer bother to even pretend that they’re teaching students how to think. Instead, their noble mission is making sure that every last trace of a dissident thought is mercilessly shotgunned out of their students’ brains before unleashing them into a world where they have trouble tying their own shoes without doubling their normal dose of antidepressants. So let the colleges die. Let the teachers—almost to the last gender-fluid one of them an Armchair Marxist who fetishizes the “working class” from afar—learn what it’s really like to earn a living. For grade school and high school, hire teachers who know how to keep their personal ideology out of the classroom. Have them act like boot-camp sergeants in drilling the three Rs into kids’ soft little skulls. The current yearly average cost for a college education runs from about $10K for state residents at public colleges to a little over $30K for public colleges. For about a thousand bucks, you can buy a cheap laptop and an internet connection for a year. And if you’re remotely intelligent and inquisitive and motivated, you can find all the knowledge the world has to offer online. We need more autodidacts and fewer casualties of collegiate indoctrination. The only intelligent thing to do with modern American colleges is to get rid of them.

I doubt that colleges will go broke since the cost of college has increased must faster than inflation. Therefore, when push comes to shove, colleges can cut cost by more than half and still have money to spare. It is true that public schools and colleges have become a hostile environment for males. Even worse, students are attending college for sex and fun; not an education. Furthermore, many degrees have little or no value. Engineering and the sciences have value, but even engineering students rather than being allowed to think outside the box are told, "Just follow the code."
