American College From A Gen Z Perspective
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2022 3:38 pm
Having completed a semester in the education department, I feel able to deliver a brief analysis on the absolute state of college-level education in the United States. So-called higher education as it exists in America is a complete joke. Perhaps it is the passage of time, as overall standards in our country continue to deteriorate by the day, or an increasing degeneration as one ascends up the educational ladder, but college seems ridiculously easy, even in comparison to middle and high school.
Partially this is because virtually none of the assignments are turned in in person. They’re all remote and online. The possibilities for cheating, as many colleagues assure me, are truly endless. Other than plagiarism, you can just about do anything when tests and homework are all turned in outside the classroom.
Academic standards have been flung into the dust. Due dates are not due dates, and, if you were so inclined, you could drag your heels on turning your assignments in to just about the end of the semester. The professors don’t care, so they will buy just about any excuse on why assignments are late.
The ranks of professors are largely filled by women, which plays a role in why standards are so low- female empathy run rampant.
Half the students should have flunked out a while ago, but because they represent nice money bags for administrators, they may stay. College is not so much about learning as it is a scam to line people’s pockets. There are far more professors than need be. There are far more classes than need be. Many of the classes in the educational department are downright redundant. You go over the same material, and- this is a problem with all levels of public education- there often is not enough of that material for a whole semester, so they like to stretch things out.
Realistically, if you take three classes on how to be “tolerant” and patient with students, you should only be taking one class, considering that’s how much material gets repeated. But if that were the case- if there were only one class- you couldn’t justify four years at university. The result is a lot of wasted time. At one point in one of my classes, the professors handed us out beads to make bracelets to see how much “privilege” we had!
The lack of standards are highly demoralizing if the student is there to learn anything (and virtually none of them are). It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Francis Parker Yockey’s Imperium: “The abolition of quality smothers the exceptional man in his youth and turns him into a cynic.” It is difficult to imagine bright students actually putting in the effort when they look at the permissiveness and lack of standards around them. And I believe the large nonwhite population at my school to play a factor in that permissiveness.
That lack of standards pervades the social environment of the university as well.
And that deficiency pertains almost solely to the women of the university. The girls customarily dress themselves up as provocatively as possible. The obesity rates among them are staggering. You could not believe how bloated some of them get.
None of this is to mention, of course, the obvious bias in favor of liberalism that pervades American universities.
Even topics that are, unlike the holy six million, not completely “off the table” are difficult to have a conversation with people about.
For example, a pet project of the history department at my university seems to be slinging mud at the leadership of the Confederacy, with General Robert E. Lee as the prime target, and promoting a revisionist interpretation of the Reconstruction era , championing the work of famed Marxist W.E.B. DuBois as the standard for research in this area.
At one point, my professor announced to the classroom that the Lee statue in Richmond, VA, was built to commemorate Jim Crow and white supremacy. I brought to his attention the fact that race is never mentioned in the address that was given at the dedication of the monument. The purpose of the monument, quoting Archer Anderson’s address, is to honor Lee’s bravery, honor, Christian faith, and to serve as a “reproof and censure, if our people shall ever sink below the standards of their fathers.” The professor swiftly retorted: “I don’t think fighting for slavery was very Christian.”
This obstinacy about a statue! Imagine that professor’s reaction if we had been arguing about the veracity of the “Holocaust”!
As for the other students, they were utterly disinterested as to whether the statue represented the trampling of the rights of the black man or the virtue of a White soldier. This might be expected of laymen, but of students specializing in the subject of history, the lack of interest in researching is astonishing.
It is interesting that, even though “critical thinking” is often touted in the classroom, it is so seldom done. No students are all that interested in delving into what the other side says, when that other side is politically incorrect White men.
And I know that there are many universities that are far more demoralizing than the one I attended.
This isn’t to say that there is no recruiting potential within colleges, but it is quite difficult to seek out. The prime recruiting target for the right-wing as a whole, and for racially-conscious groups especially, should be disaffected White men. It is they who have borne the brunt of the tyrannical System’s policies. It is they who have been disenfranchised by mass immigration and feminism. And it is they who are ostracized and forgotten more than any other group.
