“Everyone Gets A Trophy” Week at College Insurrection

“Everyone Gets A Trophy” Week at College Insurrection

In a campus culture devoted to giving everyone a trophy:

• The most common grade at many schools? “A” of course!
• Ignoring Failure in Higher Education
• LA Times Report: Getting into College is Easier

Except for white males, whose Trophy Privilege has gone on long enough:

• Duke Lacrosse Rape Accuser Found Guilty of Murder
• M. Night Shyamalan says U.S. educators favor whites

And incorrectness depends on the target:

• Students Land in Diversity Trouble after “Colonial Bros and Nava-hos” Party
• U. Kansas Students Ashamed of Report on Drinking and Sexual Assault

There is no trophy as coveted as the Victim Trophy:

• Vassar College Student Stages Hate Crime Hoax

Is it surprising that the Trophy Bubble is bursting at multiple levels?

• Universities Now Struggling to Fill Freshman Classes
• UNC-Chapel Hill’s general education program is a mess”
• Financial Outlook Still Grim for Higher Education
• Lecturer Compares New Ph.D.s to Drug Gang Wannabes
• Illinois University Pension Underfunded by $20 Billion

And all sense of sanity has been lost:

• University of Texas Journalism Prof. Connects the Tea Party to JFK’s Death
• MSNBC’s Attack on Palin is Mirrored on College Campuses
• California State Literature Class to Read a Book Called ‘The Baby Jesus Butt Plug’

With only a few rare exceptions:

• Bravery at Berkeley: Prof crosses picked line to teach class
• University of Georgia Students Petition School to Stop Training Obamacare Navigators

And it gets harder and harder to recruit people to the insane asylum:

• Schools hire student experts to recruit using latest social media tools

It starts young:

• British School Threatens to Label 8 Year-olds as Racists if They Miss Required Islam Workshop
• O, Canada! School Tells Mom Her Homemade Lunches are Illegal

And the federal gubmint makes it worse:

• Jindal’s victory over Obama administration over LA’s voucher plan

It ends with a campus culture of intolerance:

• Duquesne University Bans Poster Critical of Progressives and Communism
• Pro-Life Display Vandalized at Central Michigan University

Where only some revolutionaries are revered:

• Langston University Prof. Praises Obama as a ‘Revered Revolutionary’

Maybe the problem is the answer:

• Burlington College Students Dissolve Student Government Over Cuts

Hoo-ah!

• Ithaca Selected as America’s Best College Town
