Growing university gap: Democratic professors now outnumber Republicans nearly 12 to 1 in top fields. If the mismatch went the other way, it would be treated as a national crisis and a threat to learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course snowflakes will dominate the useless majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is another reason that I can't wait to see them released into the workforce and the real world. Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be a spectacle to behold.

Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be a spectacle to behold. I'm already seeing it. The company I work for has adjusted the training program to accommodate Millennials' lack of attention span and work ethic. (longer training, more voluntary days off) Despite their efforts, the retention rate has dropped to 10%. (9 out of 10 quit within a year). HR is slowly adjusting to the trend by hiring more people for each opening, which is giving veteran employees fits because we're having to incorporate absolute idiots into our teams. Seriously, I think one guy came to work high. Another wanted a bonus for making it to work an entire week. Still, another girl asked how long were they going take taxes out of her paycheck.

unbillievable Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is this a call center? No, but i think we have one. Probably in India. The people I mentioned are not doing minimum wage jobs, so these idiots can't use that as an excuse. We're talking the meat of the generation, not the dregs.

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/27632/ Undergraduates in Yale’s English department have started a petition to “decolonize” their introductory curriculum, noting the Major English Poets sequence omits the “contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk.” The petition “calls for the abolishment of this prerequisite and for the pre-1800/1900 requirements to refocus and include literature relating to gender, race and sexuality.” “A year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity,” it reads in part. The petition goes on to state that the Major English Poets sequence is “especially hostile” to minority students and that the sense of “alienation” causes students to leave in the middle of class. Leave it to these idiots to ask for a "decolonization" of English. It's English! They invented it! Colonization would actually be exactly what they are intending to do by removing English influences from English.

Colonization would actually be exactly what they are intending to do by removing English influences from English. So give the kids a test: name one major female or minority British poet pre-1900. Anyone who can't answer (and Charlotte Bronte doesn't count, as she was primarily a novelist) gets a F for the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Amazing what's happening on TSW with kaep and free speech. The viewpoints and how it is basically being circled back to it being free speech regardless if he is wrong or not. Literally, someone says the argument about the word slave in the national anthem doesn't make it racist. The reply to that is that it doesn't matter anyway, its free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you can freely speak and it will matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
