MEGHAN MCCAIN: Over my dead body will I pay thousands for my children to go to ... trends now
Where am I going to send my girls for college? Heck, are they even going to go?
Higher education has always been seen as the gateway to a bright future in America. But increasingly, millions are deciding it's just not worth the cost.
After all, who in their right mind would willingly subject themselves or their loved ones to hateful, irrational, woke indoctrination?
It's Free Market Capitalism 101!
Between 2012-2019 the number of students enrolled in a U.S. university dropped from 20.5 million students to 18.2 million.
The COVID pandemic only accelerated the decline, but since then enrollments haven't bounced back. In fact, they've continued to tumble down.
When the times comes, my two children may be among those choosing a job over a major. My youngest isn't even out of diapers yet, but I don't think that this so absurd.
It's an idea that many parents wrestle with as they stress over schools, tests, extra-curriculum activities and stashing away money to be spent on dorm rooms, books, and tuition.
The way things are going in academia today – college is the last place I would pay for my kids to attend.
The vile, unhinged commencement address at The City University of New York's law school is just the latest example of what passes for acceptable rhetoric in our modern academic cesspools.
Keynote speaker Fatima Mousa Mohammed stepped to the podium on May 12th and spewed the typical, far-left gibberish, but with her own antisemitic flair.
The Yemeni-born and Queens, New York-raised woman smeared the NYPD as 'fascist' and called for a 'revolution' to challenge 'oppressive' institutions, like the military, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the prison system.
According to her – an aspiring lawyer no less – the law is a 'manifestation of white supremacy' and, to top it all off, she indulged in all the greatest hits of antisemitic tropes.
The Yemeni-born and Queens, New York-raised woman (above, right) smeared the NYPD as 'fascist' and called for a 'revolution' to challenge 'oppressive' institutions, like the military, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the prison system.
She alleged 'donors' and 'investors' were secretly manipulating the school system, accused Israel of 'indiscriminate' murder, and encouraged her fellow graduates to 'fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism and Zionism around the world,' as if all those 'isms' belong in the same sentence.
Mohammad is certainly entitled to her opinion, but her school is not expected to endorse it, especially since this is a taxpayer-funded institution.
Though there was the Law School Dean, Sudha Setty, applauding along with all the others throwing their support behind Mohammed -- a well-known activist with antisemitic leanings.
Clips have since emerged showing Mohammed telling a Midtown Manhattan crowd last year to demand that 'Zionist professors [and] students' be excluded from campuses.
Ask yourself: Would someone who called for pro-Palestinian teachers and students to be kicked off campus ever be given a speaking slot at any university commencement?
Of course, they wouldn't. Only one
