Another "great idea" from the leftist academics who overwhelmingly control our College campuses!!! I was watching FOX NEWS' "Watters' World" show, Saturday night (I tend to watch FOX NEWS frequently, as an antidote for all the "Fake News" on the "Mainstream Media" outlets), and I was astounded to hear a story about the many College campuses that are creating spaces known as "Safe Zones", where overly stressed-out students can go to chill out, presumably between classes. Here they can play with free "Play Dough", watch films of "frolicking kittens", drink free hot chocolate, and other such "safe", kindergarten activities!
Whoa! Wait a minute! Did I say these are College students, or three-year-olds??? When I was in college, we had a way for overly stressed-out students to find relief... it was called, "withdraw from classes, and run home to mommy, and daddy". As this option was distasteful, most of us preferred something called, "suck it up, and deal with it!" I think that's part of what most people consider the process of growing up! But it seems like many Colleges today are trying to keep our youth from doing just that! It almost seems like they feel they have a vested interest in keeping our children immature, feeble-minded (like the guy on the street interview, when asked, "how do you feel about Donald Trump", he said, "I don't know who that is."), and parentally dependent. That sets them up for a lifetime of government dependency, that fits in well with the leftist platform of the Democratic party.
Is this an attempt to get extra years of tuition from under-achieving students, who wish to have mommy, and daddy pay for their fifth, and sixth year, in order to get a diploma, so they can get a job as a grocery store clerk, after graduation? I guess that College Professors, and Administrators have realized that a college education has become such a badge of honor in the work force, that they can charge rediculous amounts for tuition , and many people will go heavily into debt, to pay it. Meanwhile, Bankers have long since realized that making loans to students who find College as the "golden opportunity" for their employment future, can be very profitable for them to invest in. It's a great way to enslave them to repay student loans for years into their adult lives. (The Bible teaches us that, "The borrower is servant of the lender", as Jesus said.) Whatever happened to the concept of working for a few years, and saving up for college tuition?
It seems to me that the concept of making easy loan money available for students, through government grants for such loan programs, has done nothing more than to encourage Colleges to keep inflating their tuition hikes, because they know they will have plenty of students ready to pay those inflated tuitions. And, just like overall inflation tends to make poorer quality products, but a lot more of them, I suspect that artificially inflated College tuitions create more poorly educated students, with "bought-and-paid-for diplomas", which certify excellence that does not really exist!
Thank God Hillary Clinton did not become President, or we'd be dealing with the effects of her plan to make government money available for everyone to have a "free" College education. "Free", not in the sense that no one pays for it, but in the sense that we all pay for everyone else's kids to go through College, whether they learn anything or not. And you can bet that a lot of Colleges would start graduating a lot of students that were incompetent, just to get rid of them (while protecting their "graduation rate" statistics); like they have scandalously done for Football recruits, who years later admit that they are "functionally illiterate".
Yessir! The Socialists, and other leftists, have some really better ideas, all right! Not better for society as a whole, just better ways to keep idiots like us paying exorbitant money into their programs, and foolishly believing we're actually getting our moneys worth out of it! God have mercy on us all!!!
