this is a very positive development. Without the limitless state coffer to tap most of these bullshit degrees and bullshit teachers would not have work at all. Has to be one of the best things I've heard in a very long time

I taught Chinese kids math/English/science for their entrance exams in 2012. They were dealing with issues getting accepted to where they wanted to go because of DEI even then.

DEI in one form or another had been around since the 60s

It's only being dealt with now because it's finally affecting shitskins

it seems more that progressive discrimination against conservative whites got ramped up to attack most of society. That's what caused the second trump victory for sure. I was seeing signs that older members of my extended family, who are not at all populist, had realized woke was completely toxic lunacy and were soft supporters of Trump by proxy.

They should forgive these loans. They ginned people up in highschool that you could go to college get any degree and get a good job. That wasn’t the case. The whole thing was a scam to make people debt slaves. Atleast let people declare bankruptcy, they don’t need debt hanging over the neck even before they get into debt to get a house or a car. Ban Usury.

they should remove most humanities and other basket weaving programs from public funding. Or at the least tie funding to the number of jobs available and thus require competitive selection. A lot of good aspirations went into universal postsecondary, but it's clear in retrospect the whole process was a gigantic waste of people's time and money and dumbed down the curriculum to match the cohort.

Most humanities departments exist solely to perpetuate themselves. That is, the most prestigious (and financially viable) places you're going to work with one of these degrees is in some educational institution pawning off more shitty degrees on the next generation of imbeciles. Until they open up an English Literature or a Sociology factory (that doesn't have a Starbuck's logo on the door) on the other side of town, all these people are doing is wasting time and resources.

Humanities Major here, I’ve contributed plenty with my shitposts thank you

This is entirely true. It's professors respawning their ideology on children who don't know any better. The only way to make a humanities degree work professionally is join a state or activist function allied with your views or stay a permanent student. That isn't healthy for society, we need people who can code and weld and do statistics or do economics equations. We don't need a whole generation of pseuds who know how to write and write and write without much added value. That's a big failing of the humanities sphere, it teaches perspectives but not actual techniques used to parse and add value to the data.

It’s part of the human spirit to be able to write and to reflect on the greatest thinkers and history, when society is ran by a spread sheet it turns into much like what we have now. Not saying Marxist degree mills are “good”.

it's a huge waste of money and technology has progressed beyond being a humanities pseud. Education is not wrong necessarily, it's just that we overproduce for very limited fields and teach applicants really very pathetic skillsets. All of this is funded by gov sponsorship ensuring that there is a glut of applicants and the courseload itself has been dumbed down.

Humanities feeds into all of this, since it has become a pseud collector for far left ideologies which have overwhelmingly captured the institution and now gatekeep it. We should start by cutting their power since that demographic specifically is at the heart of the problem
