I wish this were surprising. But, these days, it should surprise no one.
From Gabrielle Temaat’s article at thecollegefix.com:
A recent survey out of Harvard University revealed that most students at the school are uncomfortable sharing their views on controversial topics.
This concerning trend is hardly surprising given the university’s politically one-sided campus culture, repeated statements from administrators undermining free speech, and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives.
“Only one-third of Harvard’s last graduating class felt comfortable expressing their opinions…a 13 percent decrease from the Class of 2023,” a committee commissioned by the school’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences found, according to the Harvard Crimson reported.
The report states that graduate teaching fellows expressed concerns that undergraduates might blame low grades on perceived bias rather than the quality of their work, The College Fix previously reported.
Faculty and administrators have significantly contributed to this climate.
Translation: Harvard, once considered the criterion of great education, has – certainly to a large number of its own students – become a “woke” indoctrination facility.
Isn’t college where all opinions are supposed to be freely expressed and vigoriously discussed/argued about from all sides? When did Harvard – and you can be assured it is far, far from the only major university – become a place to either recite the accepted mantra or be punished for it?
Education used to be a hallmark of pride for the United States. Now, so many of our children can neither read nor do simple math that we are becoming an international joke. And, apparently, that joke extends right up to what used to be the top of the higher education pyramid.
Oh, did I mention that a Harvard education – NOT including room and board – costs about $226,000 these days?
I can come up with about a dozen comments about that amount and what students seem to be getting for it. I’ll leave it to you to come up with a few of your own.
