A University Student's Disillusionment

If you're a college student, planning to go to college or the parent of someone in either of these groups, you might be interested in the following 5 minute video featuring a young woman by the name of Jay Stephens. Ms. Stephens explains how as an idealistic university freshman she thought she'd learn how to change the world but was totally disillusioned by the education she received:
It's almost criminal that universities keep raising student costs in part to pay a burgeoning administrative staff comprised of people who often serve no real educational purpose, or any purpose at all.

At the same time universities and colleges enroll students who would probably be better off not going to college in the first place and who, after running up debt for a couple of years, ultimately drop out or flunk out.

Then, too, schools entice other students to take boutique courses and majors which eventually result in a useless degree that'll be of no help in enabling them to pay off their debt.

As if that weren't bad enough, a lot of schools have anandoned the goal of educating their students in favor of indoctrinating them in left-wing ideologies that cause them to despise people unlike themselves and to despise the country that has given them the opportunity to attend university in the first place.

Anyway, check out the video. Hopefully, Ms. Stephens' experience won't be your experience, but it is, unfortunately, the experience of thousands of young students in today's academy.
