Inflated Grades Readily Available at Ivy League DDUs

Most students at Yale received A's last year, frustrated professors say it's 'dishonest to our students'

https://www.theblaze.com/news/most-s...o-our-students

Harvard does it, too.

P.S. DDUs = Dumb Down Universities. These are the places everyone goes to win what they didn't earn -- unless mere attendance counts, of course.

It is obvious something isn't right and it has been that way for a long time. Just look at the educational resume of Biden administration appointees and how stupid they are. KJP has an IVY league education for instance.

THis has been happening since I was in school. I heard an interview with one of these students who claimed that today' student were just smarter than those who came before them...BULL SHIT!

In any group of individuals there will be a spread in abilities

That's what the story said, as well.

They are the left wing equivalent of Hitler Youth camps and Muslim Madrassas. They are not about educating kids and teaching them to think critically. They are about indoctrinating them into a political philosophy.

Like Tucker said yesterday, Harvard is now nothing but a hedge fund with some buildings attached. They are nothing like the prestigious institution(s) they once were.

All part of the plan.

Why is that people who NEVER stepped inside college seem to KNOW all about them?

My university experience was the best time of my life, bar none..It did happen over 50 years ago.

So...you're the only one here who has ever attended college? Presumptuous much?

And the culture and politics of this nation hasn't changed much in the last 50 years?

This is a weird thing to write.

Do you think you're the only one with a post-graduate degree?

And Zilly fails to understand that people can also have friends, family members and associates who attend college or, who actually work at these places and know far more about what goes on in colleges today than what Zilly could possibly know from going to school 50 years ago.
