- Victor Davis Hanson on Higher Education's Radical Shift and Its Consequences
In this eye-opening video, historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson delves into the profound changes sweeping through American higher education. Hanson critiques the dominance of hard-left ideologies in universities, highlighting how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies are reshaping academic landscapes and undermining traditional meritocracy.
Hanson argues that college presidents now fear crossing left-wing faculty and students, leading to leadership choices based on ideological conformity rather than merit. He points out that universities, like Columbia, have faced backlash due to a perceived lack of moral compass, especially in handling incidents of anti-Semitism on campus. Hanson emphasizes the financial pressures elite institutions face as alumni and donors grow increasingly disenchanted with the ideological direction of their alma maters.
Exploring broader societal implications, Hanson compares the situation in academia to the military, discussing how both are suffering from similar issues of ideological rigidity and lowered standards. He warns that this shift could have long-term detrimental effects on America's competitiveness and social cohesion.
The discussion also touches on the international dimension, as Hanson examines the influx of foreign students from illiberal countries and the consequences of prioritizing full-paying students over merit-based admissions. He highlights the disconnect between traditional academic standards and the current educational environment, leading to a workforce perceived as ill-prepared by many employers.
🔗 Watch now to understand Victor Davis Hanson's perspective on the ideological transformation of American higher education, its impact on academic standards, and the potential fallout for the future of American society.

Victor Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell are the 2 Americans that should be listened to IF you want America to survive.
We need Americans like this to lead the people, put them back on the path of sanity.
I could not agree more. These are the type of men we need to give audience to. Only total respect for these men.
I totally agree. And, if I must be labeled, I'm slightly to the Left but I still love listening to these 2 guys.
Is it worth considering adding Larry Elder to your list?
my dear friend if you haven’t noticed America is long gone.
It used to be said that the function of education is supposed to be to teach HOW to think, not WHAT to think. What we have these days is not education, it's indoctrination.
Couldn't be more accurte except to add this is not 'new', it just has reached new pinnacles of evil.
@@graphguy Don't think it's reached its peak yet...just when you think the leftist commies have succeeded, they double down.
And has been for several decades now. Completely destroying critical thinking. Is SO wrong and unfair to students although they are blissfully unaware and have NO IDEA what they have missed. It’s all they know. A disregard for all who disagree with their outrageous views.
@@graphguyTrue, but it's fairly newly EXTREME in the US.
@@commonsense6967 Depends on definitions:
New?
Extreme?
The LEFT/evil always uses the boil the frog in the pot tactic.
This has been brewing for decades.
They've become the Poison-Ivy League.
Universities and colleges were made by Christians, so were libraries
I’m attending one and I’m fighting this. It’s not all lost.
And corrupted by Marxist, AntiChrist demonic people destroying the minds of children who have rejected God .
That's a good one!
@@Jan-fx2nyIncorrect! And most Ivy League schools aren’t Christian schools. But nice try though with gaslighting smh
Idiocracy isn't just a movie, it's reality these days.
It was an overestimation about intelligence.
And we are just living through the first minutes of the movie...
In 20/20 hindsight, the movie "idiocrasy" was a failure since it greatly underestimated the levels of socio-political insanity commonplace today.
@@konagirl805 Sadly true.
It's all rather bizarre that young people are rabidly pushing for the destruction of their own society and culture that provided the greatest "social justice" the world has ever seen.
We've seen many examples in history of people rebelling out of envy and hardship but making their lot worse with the revolution. It's understandable why the poor workers of Russia ended up creating th Soviet Union, conditions under the Czar were terrible for most.
But today, you have the most privileged actively destroying the society that gave them that privilege. I'm certain, they are not so "virtuous", that they want to personally give up their place at University and work on the bean fields for the rest of their lives, for the community.
Either they are stupider than a pile of sheep dung or they think they will be the ones living in the Kremlin.
No more Harvard or Yale grads on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Poison Ivy League.
That eliminates Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Kagan, Brown, Sotomyer. I'll take that deal.
nor President like Barry!
@@tangobear3536Those judges graduated a while back ago this stuff started after they were gone at least most of this woke and DEI crap nice try but you’re wrong.
@@noemibarrios4056 Remember whe everyone smoked in class and when someone fell asleep, the prof nailed them in the head with a piece of chalk?
If President Trump wins this fall, he should hire VDH as Secretary of Education!!
Really, we need to get rid of the Department of Education at the Federal level. They are the ones pushing this Critical Race Theory and LGBT agenda in our schools. They got to go.
If President Trump wins this fall, he should get rid of the Department of Education and let each state deal with this.
@@lesheinen6116 Sure glad I read your reply before I spoke up. Pres. Carter (Democrat, started the FEDERAL dept. of educ. which gave the "government" the power to mold our children, as we have found out. States and local governments used to do this, and it reflected the beliefs of the people, not our enemies who wish to destroy us. One of the first things I noticed was, they didn't bother teaching "big words" or "spelling or grammar" because that interfered with "creativity". Twice, school books were dumbed down, and they kept destroying everything until now, if you want to get a skewed idea of sex or gender, just go to the elementary school library (if they'll let you in).
Betsy DeVos was Trump's best cabinet choice the first time around.
@@user-hm5zb1qn6g since 1977, US education went from number 1 to 13th. Let's just call this experiment what it was: a complete failure. It's time for the Federal Department of Education to go away.
Brave man, Victor Davis Hanson! Thank you for speaking up!
If the rest of us would speak up like Victor does our country would probably be a whole different place not crazy like it is nowadays. 🇺🇸🦅Trump 2024🇺🇸🦅
This guy is a national treasure, may God bless him.
Shut up. There's no God.
God is fictional.
@@DailyStalkerUpdatemilitant atheist snowflakes are so cringe!🤣
Go find a good leftist safe space and join your allies.🌈
This results in a worthless degree and an incompetent class of graduates with degrees not worth the paper they are written on.
For sure, if you were an entrepreneur in education, there's a huge opportunity here to replace the establishment educational institutions provided the financing could be acquired. I think education from top to bottom is going to be very different in 10-20 years.
Example: AOC
And heavily in debt.
These are the ones who would trade the country’s freedom in return for student loan forgiveness.
K-12 government schools prepare the students for complete indoctrination into Democrat party communism.
My father graduated from Yale in ‘58.
He said the left takeover of Yale was already in place there then. He did not encourage me to go there. 8th in my class out of 188 with a 4.25 gpa and a year and a half of college already completed I could have easily got in.
I got into Stanford, the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy, but chose to go to SMU in Dallas.
Its still a conservative school.
God bless Texas🤠
If I had known about Hillsdale, I would have gone there.
You had a very wise father. Congratulations to him for having a very wise son.
As a native of N. Texas, I would not say that SMU is conservative at all now. I'm in my 50's and it was once a conservative school but always a very snobbish student body. As a Texas Tech alum, we are a very conservative school in the sate of Texas. Just my two cents.
Wake up it's all bullshit for hells sake
@@martinmerrill5366 What's all bullshit?
Pronouns in online threads are rarely useful or informative.
But Hillsdale is like the Mark Of Cain on a resume. Silicon Valley hates America and discriminates vs. military vets and whites. They are in love with B-1s from Asia. BTW a B-1 from China suicided by window jump at Facebook and it was NOT in the "news". The lone engineer who protested work conditions was fired immediately. Facebook=Fascist.
Without Christ WE have no moral compass. That’s why this mess is happening.
Jesus is the only way. Amen. He saves.
Without following the Ten Commandments and fellowshipping with God these floundering people are not of sound minds! They know not what to do!!!
The Great Spaghetti Monster would beg to differ.
@@ChrisPBacon-vk7sjbut he is deaf and dumb
Ah yes, the christian comment bots.
Our country is sick, ill.
And spreading all its crazyideologies like an epidemic to the Western World. This crap reached Europe...
What gave it away
It's been eaten like a cancer, from the inside out. Thing is the people voted for it over a decade ago. It's in stage 4 now.
Terminal unless God helps out, but we are not deserving His help because so many have fallen away.
We are all worthy. Where do you get your belief system from, dear?
17 year old kids that could not even get a $500 Gas Card from Exxon can get $300K from the Swamp to go to College. What could possibly go wrong ?
We need University presidents with a backbone that aren't afraid to do what's right
The University Donor class are fully behind LGBT stuff. Thus destroying America. When the students showed they still had sense of right & wrong the Donors are threatening to withdraw funding & want the students expelled.
And "say", what's right "! 😮 ❤
I can no longer say that something depends on the context. That phrase has been sullied by "Dr" Gay and her peers. It just sounds dirty now.
Not holding my breath.
@@williamsweeney7954 me either partner, it looks like it's expect the worst hope for the best
Mr. Hanson, thank you. For everything. For being clearheaded. For being true, solid and honest. Thank you. A Student
There are over 8 million jobs in the trades that pay good money. College is a waste of time for millions of kids.
Agree 100%
Go into plumbing. There will always be a need for plumbers no matter how bad the economy is.
@@doug8525 Damn right we are having one heck of a time finding plumbers and try finding a young electrian.
Back in the ‘60s, the most well off family in my middle class neighborhood was a plumber. His sons became plumbers and now supervise the plumbing of mega projects like the building of malls and resorts.
Not anymore. Illegal aliens and cheap labor changed that.
Victor Davis Hanson..a voice of REASON in a UNREASONABLE world
This man has the most straightforward, honest analytical mind to be so seemingly soft spoken, yet his words carry the weight of 500 pound bombs. I love this guy.
Victor is 100% correct. His ability to accurately describe a complex problem.
In simple terms.
The Department of Education is administered by the United States secretary of education. It has 4,400 employees - the smallest staff of the Cabinet agencies[5] - and an annual budget of $68 billion.[6] The President's 2023 Budget request is for $88.3 billion.
Based on what we just witnessed, I would say without a doubt that the Ivy Leagues are dead.
The only way to revive Ivy League Colleges is to replace the entire faculty's but of course they have protected themselves with a thing they call 'tenure' which exists nowhere else!
Ivy League is nothing more than a bottom line motivated business model.
As another commenter stated, the Poison Ivy League colleges.
Not only is our country sick we have a cancer and it has metastasized...
It has metastasized and the only hopes are action - chemotherapy, radical treatments, and prayer.
Lowering the standards in these colleges so people can graduate is cancerous. Destroying this country from lower learning.
Same as lowering the standards to get in too, it's doing the same thing.
Uneducated people are easier to control. That’s what these Marxists are trying to do in this country. Instead of educating our children, they want to indoctrinate them into their ideologies.
I was barely in the upper 2/3 of my High School class.
2nd highest SAT. No. 1 and No. 3 got recognized. Why? Because my mother was just 'passin' for white.
Then they found out she was a Eye Talian. Not much different. Yes, that was in the same 1st place those restaurant sit-ins took place.
That was life in the early 1960s. I graduated and got two degrees. But I really liked working with my hands outdoors instead of sitting behind desk.
I got it the hard way. I also did not qualify for any of the DEI benefits. Oh and my father died when I was 18.
Mom went though the money. Like a big dog that just pulled that cooling off pot roast from the table.
The most successful people I have hired have been high school droputs. Universities these days are producing entitled and lazy people, not all of course , but a substantial number. A person with a grade ten and a work ethic, has no other choice but to buckle down and do the job. Opportunities are limited for these people, what they get they tend to be serious about. As an employer my main interest is hiring a person to perform their tasks, without ego, or drama. Something these kids produce by the bucket load.
I was a HS dropout. I was bored because everything they taught was fluff. I did end up with 3 college degrees before universities went off the rails lol
As a 83 year old, 48 year business/corporate guy, I agree 100%. A college degree would NEVER get me to hire you. Number one is...will you show up 15 minutes early and stay late if necessary? Will you read the order and get it right? Will you always try to learn and advance, or will you take long breaks and do squat work!? I am beyond thankful I made it out when I did. Now, I wouldn't even try.
@@Ken77114 You are not someone I would work for. Boomers expect you to be a slave to them. If going to the gym to stay in shape on my lunch break, so that I do not get sick and have to call in sick all the time because I am unhealthy is an issue, I wouldn't work for you. IF you're paying me overtime to stay, and I have no other obligations I would. However, the younger gens are tired of the low slave wages and poor work-life balance. Our lives are not working for you 24-7. If that is the expectation, I would start my own business lol
This isn't boomer land anymore. Life isn't meant to work yourself to an early grave. You don't own us.
@@MarieLamour-cv1jc You proved his point. Bravo.
@@MarieLamour-cv1jc You're about as sharp as a marble.
College ruined my son. Smart as all get out, came home from college, and after a semester of Biblical Teachings, decided he "learned" that the Bible is a lie. 😢 He has never been the same person he was before going to college. 💔
I am so sorry about your son.
College is supposed to be the best experience of your life. Your son is a strong independent thinker, but tell him never give up on God. I pray he uses this experience to continue to search for his truth. May he flourish and grow in wisdom and strength.
Keep praying 🙏🏻!!! Nothing is more powerful than the prayers of a parent. Especially a mother. Nothing is impossible for our Father. Jesus is my Lord and Savior ✝️
Keep praying and fasting for your son. I face the same situation with my son who went to UCDavis. While I don’t claim in any way that I was a perfect mother, I know that I worked hard to give my best to my children-and I know they had it better than I did growing up. So I leave my grown children in the Hands of my Savior and trust Him with them. It is a deeply hurtful thing to rear them with good values and sacrifice for their education, to only result in their rejection of Biblical values. But God has seen this play out many times in many generations over time. I pray and love them; I fast and work on becoming the person God wants me to be. Thanks for this opportunity to share. I need to remind myself of this often.

Thank You!
"The Swamp". It reaches further than you realize......... And it is the single most dangerous thing facing America today.
Way deeper then I thought. 🤦♀️
And the biggest creature in the swamp is....Obama who pulls JB strings
Pull the plug on this sh!t now!!
Pull the plug on the money and it would implode fairly quickly. No more tuition grants, no more college aid of any kind, no more government university grants of any kind, period. No more subsidies, no more research grants, nothing. The University system would collapse under its own bloated weight. Of course, Biden does the exact opposite, bailing out student debt left and right with our money.
My brothers and i all have bachelor's and master's degrees. One of my brothers was valedictorian, so he got a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga within 45-50 miles from our home. My other brother and i had work scholarships at Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Later, we transferred to UTC. I had an assistanceship for part of my master's degree classes. We all worked part-time during college.
We grew upon a farm. We knew that one of my grandfathers was illiterate. My mom was the first person in her family to graduate high school and she helped my dad get his GED. He had dropped out to take care of his family and his father with cancer.
Long story short, we knew it was a privilege for us to go to college. We and our families worked hard for it. The state schools near us were good enough.
Before my past car accident injuries caused me to not be able to work, i taught every grade from 7th - 12th and college. I could see a decline in parenting, student's behavior, entitlement, etc. The number of kids with involved parents and hardworking kids declined. We are paying the price for these mistakes.
Couldn’t agree more. Our colleges have become a cesspool of liberals.
Similar story here in the UK. Ever since Tony Blair said "Education, education, education" and made it his goal that 50% of young people should to go to university or college, standards (both among students, final graduates and teaching staff) have nosedived. The value of degrees in the workplace has also gone into freefall. The universities now face a crisis of intellectual bankruptcy, and the proliferation of stupid ideas (that can't be challenged because of the censorship and cancel culture).
Tony Blair is also a major WEF member
The standatds in schools have also and especially since the rise of specoal needs students and EBD students have been integrated into classes. There was a time when teachers taught to the middle and pushed the top end but now lesson time is taken up with the bottom end and with behaviour management despite LSA support.
The future is bleak. What happens when these college graduates enter the workforce??
"A" university.
Blair was the beginning of UK’s freefall. Makes me so sad to see what has happened to your great country. I’m glad I got to visit decades ago when your country was mostly Brits.
Hanson you have your feet on the ground, thank you sir!
Mr Hanson your the man with common sense FJB and the Democrat Party

Every University should be responsible for minimum of 50% of Student Loans moving forward. Without that, government should give grants only, there’s no accountability presently for these higher education institutions…
How about performance-based tuition. If the graduate is unable to find a career in their degreed profession, the university refunds tuition on a year for year basis.
Excellent as usual. Victor says "they didn't understand the effects", but I think they did understand, they just don't care.
Neither do We the People of the United States want to subsidize it.
Unfortunately the university paradigm no longer functions in support of the society that created it. It is obsolete.
Universities were not created by society in the first place. They were designed by the powers that should not be to indoctrinate minions with their false narratives and then hold positions of authority over society within all professional fields. Society can and should create a much better means of advanced education. The universities don't advance us, they hold us back.
Graduated in 67’ We learned about America, our history and politics. Studied communism and their objectives, you thought you decided
So did I , in Vietnam in 1968. Vote blue and save our country don't elect Putin's puppet.
Exactly right about the over-entitled brats who are unemployable.
I’m unemployed because the border has been open for 55+years! Where every job is filled by the Spanish people from South America. Corruption for over 55 years! Those who made the money then are making the laws today. On purpose. 😡
Liberal Imperialism. Almost lost my opportunity as a conservative Christian to earn a Master's degree because of a "liberal full tilt anti-GOD" professor. Being an older student, my superb GPA standing, a professional career already established, and my military veteran status the college I attended "heard" my case and my documented evidence of my being academically targeted, I was able to find relief from that professor and ultimately earn my graduate degree. I was smart enough to know the difference between an "academic education" (that I was paying for) and liberalistic indoctrination that fails under intelligent argument and HONEST critical analysis. Surprisingly, the professor in question had very limited knowledge of the actual field of study being pursued in our coursework. I am deeply grateful for the experience and having an academic advisor who had the courage to correct the injustice on my behalf.
Employers want employees who won't cause trouble and will work hard and be capable. They don't want coddled troublemakers who graduated from prestigious colleges simply because they checked the right diversity equity and inclusion boxes on their applications. Who would have imagined that ability still matters?
This is the Left's new religion, and they will force it down our throats, either by the law or the, soon to be implemented, social credit scores! They will have the power to control your money with the, soon to be implemented, digital money; one click and your money is deactivated or disappears!!! The prophesies in the Bible are coming true right in front of our eyes!!!!
Corporations like stupid people
Hmm.... If employers don't want coddled troublemakers infiltrating the US workforce, then we really should consider who does want that. Because what is happening is not just happenstance. It was very much envisioned and implemented. It's a clear agenda to break down the societal foundation of the nation.
True, but there are still a whole lot of employers who demand those limp pieces of paper.
@@astridgalactic9336 True, but most of those are government employers and organizations that need/want to project a "diverse" workforce and can afford to carry all of the affirmative action and DEI dead weight.

Life is like physics. One reaction creates an equal or more significant reaction.
Pretty much. 40+ years of the decent rational majority refusing to gatekeep, let alone fight back, in any meaningful way is what allowed them to take over.
In leftwing politics almost every single action has precisely the opposite effect to that intended.
Exactly. Consequences are being ignored with horrific results (or maybe, planned results, depending on whose side you are on). NO ONE thinks of Consequences! You can't do just "one" thing because other things are influenced.

When I was 12 I read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason" cover to cover and carried around a copy of The Communist Manifesto. 60 years later I read and reread the Bible from cover to cover, every word and every 170 days, 7 chapters a day. If I had done that 60 years ago I never would have gone to college and wasted my time with a degree in pholosophy.
University degrees are worthless now.... A parent is better off advising their child to attend a trade school or join the Military to focus on learning military skills leadership etc...
It's high time we focus on rebuilding our Middle Class who can actually do real things to contribute to society and build traditional wealth and security...
Not the military, if you love your kid, don't encourage them to engage in the piracy of other counrties' assets in the guise of democracy or other self-serving lies that justify invading sovreign nations.

Fifty years ago my university was populated by tall, smart, and beautiful people. I visited the campus recently and found it crowded with short, dark, and bitter trolls. It’s appalling what has happened.
The intimidation for high grades by Muslims goes back to the 70s. I was attending City College in Sacramento in the late 70s. Students from Iran were intimidating teachers, demanding straight As etc. They were the sons of rich Iranians and they acted completely entitled.
I ended up in BU grad school of communications in the bad economy of 1990. All foreign students.
I have had a Iranian's trashing my Vet family online recently. The guy is a punk and hates America. Told him to go back to Iran.
Disrespect and ingratitude, wrapped in an exaggerated sense of entitlement.
Iranians are the most entitled and racist of all people.
Those Iranian kids grew up under the Shah, who was governed Iran as a Western nation until 1979.
When community and family are destroyed and replaced with corporate think ideology we are doomed.
The loss of the fear of God has empowered the demonic world by our own lazy souls.

Yes, they are full of crap.
I bought the technical books and went to work. I became a staff engineer/scientist at IBM with a complicated patent and had no degrees. I did attend a couple Jr colleges and the professors said "what are you doing here" so I left. The also said I could teach the class.
Yes. My approach as well. I'm shocked by many of the comments I see here. Many are hateful. I'm also shocked by how little people read! Good for you reading the books! I did the same, and never had to study for tests, and got straight 'A's'!
I do not understand why we have students from other countries. We desperately need new education from preschool to a Masters Degree. We must have people who can practice critical thinking. Looking forward to reading your new book. Thank you ❤ Gina

If you survive the next 2 months you will be one out of 5 of every class we hire". Unfortunately, the last 2 years of hires, not one has survived, they all quit.
That's because they are cheating these people and not preparing them for life. Degrees are essentially worthless because they give them out to anyone.
Which industry?

Honestly? I taught grad level architecture for 40 years. If all the kids you taught dropped out I suspect you're being rude and/ or very difficult to get along with. I'm very demanding of my students, but I also never had anyone drop out because of me. Most of my former students have stayed in contact with me. What on earth are you doing?
@@user-hl4jj3hb4h preparing them to be insurance adjusters. Tough job.
It's the same reason why everyone is fat
And that reason is Capitalism
@@DanielFoley75then why have things become worse as the government has grown and society moves further left?

i always second guessed my decision to forego college and go into the military. I travelled the world and saw all 50 states, finished my college one class at a time after work. My school was paid for. Im happy now with the path i chose. BTW i lost every high school friend i had by joining the military. ( 1974)
The only reason to send your child to a top school in the US today is if they study STEM. STEM is only lightly affected by DEI idiocy and is still rigorous and valuable.
Except it’s now STEAM, that is how the corrupt it.
@@motofunk1If the A stands for Architecture, 👍.
I was a guest speaker at a local college and the apathy by the students at large was astounding. WTF are you doing in college if you’re not interested. I guess it’s better than getting a job. There was one exception. An army vet. He was completely engaged and had great questions.
My college years were 72-6. My faculty advisor was a major Melville scholar who was also an avowed Marxist. Yet when I asked for summer reading his advice was "You're Catholic, right, so never read the King James Bible. You must or you can't understand English literature or Anglo American history." He also had no use for Marxist or feminist of any other such interpretation of the English Lit he taught. In fact he would play Devils Advocate quoting Milton Friedman at them. Now that's all gone, nothing but parrot teachers parroting the party line to their sheep like students.
My higher education years were the same as yours except I stayed through '78 and earned a Master's degree. 40+ years in the corporate world and near the end I was being assigned new managers who were almost exclusively minority females and most were poor work performers who were continually promoted. My youngest child went to my same University and graduated with Honors by being selective in coursework and professors. Just like people our age say John F Kennedy co 8:19 uld not be a Democrat today, my child and I observed that the "liberal" faculty of my era no longer exist... today they are angry radicals. It's a sad situation for our Nation.
Mr. Hanson always has sound advice and knowledge to so!ve Americas problemd
As parents witnessing the absolute decay of the colleges we will not support our children going to such a trashy thing . We decided that we would get loans and hire the right mentors to coach and start businesses that our children would want to own or have. I can pay for our kids college or I can support them in starting their own business and starting their own business is where and only where my money will go . Colleges and the professors and the education system is a indoctrination camp that I can't support.
The biggest Corporate employer on earth (the US Gov.) has said degrees no longer matter...the directors of I.T. have said they don't care where or how you gained your skills, autodidactic is fine.
BS,Our military and bureaucracy are 100% behind DEI crap
When you look at the uni students, they just look like a bunch of actors, activists. If you tell me they want to be doctors or lawyers, you would have me fooled.
Shut down the Ivy League schools.
I was a veteran non-trad who survived the indoctrination of college. It wasn't a cake walk by any means. I definitely had my struggles and skirmishes from faculty bullying.
When you can't be easily manipulated and/or indoctrinated, expect resistance. Be ready for it. It's part of it. It shouldn't be, but it is. In today's academic world, it's naive to expect otherwise.
Brilliant!
Victor, my son graduated from Texas A&M as an engineer. Texas A&M is no longer a great University. They also went woke and allowed thousands of people of color who couldn't pass the entrance exams in. The neighborhoods suddenly and drastically changed and not for the better. What was once a nice, safe college town turned into a ghetto. A&M used to be a conservative University and no longer is.
Hate to hear that,always seems to be one common denominator.
Good luck to your son,Victor,wish him health and success.
Georgia Tech is not the resort VDH seems to think. The admin is full blown woke and the problems he expresses in this video are nearly full blown at Georgia Tech. Just ask Judith Curry. And that was years ago.
The insanity of what is going on in so many parts of the government is truly troubling.
Victor Davis Hanson hombre.
great movie. VDH is the Hombre Indeed! Love that opening bar scene. Newman performed great dentistry with his stock of his 1873 Winchester in .44-40! 'Hey!, Hombre!' Great line!
Great information
I hope the ICC issues arrest warrants for many of our top American leaders. :-)
that will NEVER happen
When my husband did hiring some years ago for the large company he worked for, he said the the best employees were ex-military and those who had grown up on a farm. The college graduates were book smart but sometimes lacking in other areas.
Most of the elite schools made their reputations based on their graduate schools so their undergraduate product is not better than state universities. I earned a BS in Chemistry from a small state university and scored 820 GRE on the Chemistry test. That score put me well into the top 10% even though I didn't go to an elite school.
A lot of state schools were elite or very good. Others not so.
@@CatholicTraditional My point was a BS degree from an Ivy League school is no better than a good state school.
Fortunately, a lot of these lesser institutions will not be able to survive. Enrollment is way down and will continue to drop. I heard one estimate that in 20 years 25% of all universities will have closed. Glad to see it too
A lot of wrinky-dink colleges have closed in the last 5 yrs.
Here in Australia, anti-Semitism has emerged on university campuses as well. May I suggest that no-hopers who scraped into uni, doing no-hoper degrees and no-hoper subjects, are getting into anti-Semitic agitation, let alone other mad causes like Extinction Rebellion because they don’t have a legitimate way to make their mark on society. 😠
The further we as a nation get away from Jesus of Nazareth the more destructive the people will become.
I am a professor and it's been happening for a long time.
I applied for a mathematics instructor position in a local college. Has a good interview and was informed that the Head of the Mathematics Department supported my application as well as several other interview members. Sent the "thank you" letter etc. but heard nothing. I called the Interview board chairperson, the college VP, and get this he told me I was "too old and too white". I wish I knew he would say something so objectionable because I would have recorded the conversation.
Our courts and Congress are getting a little too woke and subsequently disruptive. Honor and decorum...learn it or get out.
Colleges & Universities are now the largest Agencies of Govt. The tsunami of tax payer money $ pouring in is staggering. When the Govt took over Student Loans $$$ - Colleges & Universities entered a modern day Gold Rush.
I have no idea what people are talking about - yelling about USGov't subsidizing student debt? They're not! And that's a big part of the problem! Due to GQP pressure the US Gov't stopped giving 'research grants' to US Universities by the mid 1970's.. After that, every school more than doubled their tuitions to make up the loss of income. That's why in 1981 Harvard GSD's tuition (per semester) went up from $4000 to $8000 and was slated to go up to $16,000 in 1982. As for the USGov't handing out 'free money' they're not! Biden developed a program that would give up to $10,000 grants to graduates struggling with debts. Many kids graduate with $150,000 or more in debt. You people have NO idea what you are talking about.
The can has been kicked down the road for decades. It is now imperative to deal.
We have been dumbing down our schools since the 60’s. And apparently you can never dump it down enough.
No such thing as 'islamophobia', only islamofauxbia. Phobia is irrational fear/hatred, whereas healthy dislike is both reasonable and sensible.
