  1. They didn't use the wrong pronoun, one was being compelled and bullied and two friends stood up to the pronoun bully.

  2. I'm in a Ph.D. program– 1.5 years into it. I'm the first person to tell you that higher education is a complete joke.
    A couple of my professors aren't even qualified to teach a high school class, let alone at the grad school level.
    Edit: just as Bill mentioned, if you are a welder or a plumber or any number of respectable blue collar jobs, you will make 150 K out of the gate.
    As a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, when I graduate I probably won't work quite as much as them, but I'll make 150 K as well– after I've spent almost 100 K on the program.

  3. When even no-name colleges are getting $50k in tuition, it's just not worth it, for the most part.

  4. A huge mistake was made back after WWII. The idea began that everyone needed to go to college and get a college degree. This accelerated in the following decades. This has not ended up helping either the students or the country. College should be for those with the aptitude to go and to get a degree in a useful profession. Others who don't have the desire or aptitude should either go to a vocational school, the military or straight into the workforce. A good percentage reduction in colleges would help those who cannot do the work and families that either struggle or go into massive debt to get their children a college education that for many of them is a waste of time and energy. Also, with less students, the colleges could reduce the number of administrators and faculty who are paid to do little to nothing.

  5. In the words of Richard Nixon the media is the enemy , professors are the enemy, found that very enlightening..

  6. "As soon as these kids get into the work force, the better off we'll be." Unfortunately, in many cases that is not true.
    They will enter the work force with all their implanted toxic ideas intact, and they will only cause disruption and
    chaos – usually because those in charge of their work place are co-idealogues or cowards.

  7. I read about Bill Bennett and his brother in Cathy O'Brien's book,"TRANS-FORMATION"…..What a pair of pervs !!!

  8. Keep um stupid, keep um under control.

  9. Well, at least they didn't call these teens
    RACISTS.

  10. Ive been wanting to start college for two years but didnt enroll when covid started because I wanted to see how it played out. Now that they require covid vaccines I will never go unless they lift them. I am 40 years old. I was ready for a career change. Now I dont know what I will do.

  11. Public school is now the pipeline to a crappy life. And itโ€™s crappy while you attend to.

  12. The parents should sue. Outrageous and stupid!

  13. Bill you rock!
    When I read the headliner I filled in the blank before I opened it and was so pleased we agreed…'it's a good thing!'
    I've been screaming it for years!
    Thanks for still fighting for our children and grandchildren!

  14. Universities are breeding ground for sick thinking – indoctrination. Trade schools are going to be a better choice in the near future.

  15. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  16. It is a good thing. In fact maybe it'll help those kids to grow up and see the real world

  17. And yet Fox continues to use trans language

  18. Lefty loonies need to go…

  19. Go for an apprenticeship. My nephew has just finished his and did really well. He has a job and next year will go back to college for a degree which he's funding himself. At 22 he's mature, focused, hard working and carries no debt.

  20. The family needs to sue the school.

  21. If you can't have a baby your a man !
    You can believe you are anything you want, don't mean we have too !

  22. Going to college means becoming a liberal

  23. College is a farce and isn't for everyone! Kids can go to school online and companies can train kids online so they are trained when they graduate high school and save their parents the expense of college! College is a waste of time and money, and so are public schools! Mom can stay home with the kids saving the expense of college, and help the kids go to school online, and give them the emotional support they want and need from a parent! And company will have trained people right out of high school! We are not training kids for jobs, we aren't being smart and using what we have! Public schools and college for the masses is stupid! Public schools and college are failing the next generation. And the cost of brick and mortar schools is a burden on home owners! Schools are obsolete and stupid! We have the means to train kids to succeed and are not doing it! School are failing the next generation. I give schooling in this country a big fat F!

  24. What about the kids rights to their own opinions and beliefs???
    No one has the right to tell you what tobelieve,say or what "science" to follow….those children being charged are the true victims..๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  25. You can study liberal arts, but it has to be a very good program, not a BS program, or have a very rich uncle.

  26. Get this guy off the air, he does not belong.

  27. college can be worth it, but this depends on what you are studying there

  28. Parents, home schooling is not as difficult as you think. Get you kids out of the public school system because they are all about social justice instead of teaching our kids how to think and learn. The teachers union is so supportive of this kind of teaching which is indoctrination not education.

  29. The point is "Stupid is as Stupid does."

  30. People are waking up. Why would you spend $50k a year to get a degree that qualifies you to be a Starbucks barista? Get woke, go broke.

  31. We need to put the university back in charge of grants/funding based on performanceโ€ฆ, no more government underwriting, only grantsโ€ฆ

  32. Wouldn't this be good on "Judge Judy"

  33. I have two engineering degrees and have never been able to keep a job (but it does help you to get one). Every job is different and no job actually has a use for the stuff you learning college.
