Today’s youth believe voting left will get them free education, pay off their present education debt, and get paid for not working. It’s that simple. Until they start to live in the “no free lunch”real world nothing will change.

You really nailed a few things here. I have a young niece and nephew who are recent graduates of ASU in Phoenix. I'll just say I avoid talking to them about politics and the way covid was handled, because it gets very uncomfortable. They're not stupid people, far from it, but their university did very little for them.

I live near the Atlantic Ocean with a state university campus a block from my house. I taught physics there for most of the years between 2002 and 2019. After about 2015, the place went to hell. It's now a ludicrous indoctrination camp. I saw the transformation take place over those years, from a middle class school with balanced views from various profs to a self congratulatory enclave of leftist zealots. I could not teach there today.

The school had a few phony hate crimes in 2016 and 2019, caught on video camera, committed by a local 35 year old black man. Some ugly words were scribbled on a hallway way. Though they knew it was a staged crime the administration played it up and local zealots played it up to pressure the University to take action to further brainwash faculty and students. When campus police finally broke the news that the crime was committed by a black man, no further mention was made. The tragedy is that enrollment of black students dropped precipitously after the administration's frantic virtue signaling. The whole staged event, perhaps planned by dull witted idealogues ended up hurting the black students. To me, it seems this is where leftist thought always ends up. Because it's basically demented and inhuman.
