Do not be absent in that decision.

This photo was taken today at Hillsdale, a Christian college that is mocked by elites dues to their Devos connections.



This is from Columbia, one of the best schools in the world.



Which one looks like somewhere you'd want your daughter to be a part of? Which one looks like somewhere you'd want your son to find his bride?

and apparently, they still know how to type on a manual typewriter, like the one the blonde on the left is carrying in her giant handbag thingy.

I always wanted to go to Hillsdale. Saving for my boys to go if they end up smart / disciplined enough. Jury will be deliberating on that for many years.

I don’t know a plumber or electrician who made under 100k last year, even the laziest of the lazy ones I know (probably 25 combined). Some made over 250k. None of them have any student debt. None are baristas or DoorDash for extra cash. Only one electrician I know is a renter.

I would encourage kids, especially boys, this is the way.

My kids can go to school where ever they want. That’s their choice as young adults.

It’ll be my choice whether I pay for it or not.

For some, it may be, but it's not for everyone.

What colleges are on the non-woke list these days, anyway?
Are any of them names that wouldn't get your kid's resume ... filtered just by seeing it?

Well truth be told you should be homeschooling your kids early on and not sending them to college at all

What matters is the school you can get into and how you're going to pay for it.

A moron, and I mean a real frickin' moron chooses Hillsdale College over Columbia or USC or Emory or Northwestern or Harvard or Yale or Johns Hopkins simply because they're protesting over some bullshite.

Stop living in the moment with all this campus shite. These are all world class institutions that the vast majority of Hillsdale students would've gone to had they been able to get in and pay for.

Comparing Hillsdale to Columbia is almost as bad as comparing Springhill College to Columbia or any of the other schools I've listed.

What are you basing this list off of?

We went to Auburn, and have nieces and nephews there and/or recently graduated. While Auburn isn't as woke as Harvard... it is creeping with liberals. We lost a nephew to this.

Look at the demographics. A lot of the woke profs and the rebellious students are Arab, Black, White (especially female) but when I visited colleges there were TONS of Asians. I don't see any of them in the protest movements. Maybe they just want an education.

so they didnt ahve to spend years to get their masters license? they never had to make $10 an hour

they never had to work their arse off in the rain, mud, heat, cold etc?

sorry i have worked in the trades and worked as an engineer in management...trust me, only a fool would encourage his kids to work in the trades if they are capable of getting some type of STEM degree.

Agreed. College is for queers, women, and sissy boys. I took my hands and learned to weld like a damn man.

its so funny. can always tell the ones who have never worked in the trades...they always tell everyone to go into it


go ask any electrician in the middle of summer or anyone on a turnaround if they would rather be in an office job making the same amount of money and see what they say

not everyone is cut out to own and run a business. lot more tradesman that end up as a career journeyman than business owner....prolly 25:1 or more. stop acting like its so easy to become an owner and then so easy to make it and that everyone is capable of doing that.

you sure about that? These “elite” colleges are squeezing the last bits of juice out of their names but they are not far from being jokes.
