Oh great, the mentally weak are allowed to be celebrated and in charge. No wonder this country is f**cked.

Shockingly (not) 95% of people in the thread didn’t read the changes being made just reacted to the click bait

Yep…the histrionics of a certain segment of the right have officially become the complainer class.

And it’s ironic AF because i would wager 95% wouldn’t get in Michigan.

I believe MIT has been doing this for freshmen since at least the '70s


If this is true, i could at least rational it. One of the hardest schools to get in to has a weed out year. Separate the math wizards from the drop outs with less pressure of getting and A or a B for the students that can cut it. Once the weed out year happens real grades ensue for the next three years.

That is completely different than a state university with 60K (or however many) students not having grades at all

How about all schools (and businesses) go to straight meritocracy and remove all demographic info (race, gender, age) from the acceptance (or hiring) process?

The left would never accept straight meritocracy because most of their pet projects can't compete without special consideration.

You’re absurd, and you obviously don’t know me or my actual point of view…

No I just think that if you live in a damn red state you have nothing to worry about. Let people make their own decisions in their own states and focus on yours

They've come a long way from "smiley face, check mark, or frowny face."

We all wish it was like that. This mentality is like cancer, it spreads and destroys. Have you seen what goes on at universities in red states these days?

Insanely ideologically demented leftists in charge of a major university doing stupid destructive things is only one small example.

I read a study that found 20-30% of college graduates are functionally illiterate. The study was from 2006.

Functionally illiterate means they can’t add the price of 2 items on a menu or read a novel and comprehend what they read.

I’m not knocking dumb people but how in the hell are college graduates unable to explain what a novel is about.

He also notes a shocking lack of original thought.
