“I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that." This is the same Virginia Foxx who is a member of the US House Committee on Education and the Workforce and who chairs the subcommittee of the same name. Under the jurisdiction of this committee and subcommittee are administration of the Higher Education Act which supports college access for low and middle-income studen ...

immigration ruling. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/30/hispanic-students-vanish-_0_n_989669.html Any thoughts? Once again, and I know I sound like a broken record because I keep saying this, but I'm torn on this subject. I don't feel like we should punish children whose parents brought them here illegally....and yet to turn a blind eye just encourages more to come here illegally. I don't want to just give them amnesty because that does nothing but ...

It's a shame that this story seems to be ignored by MSM and our government. Why do they ignore Africa? This is an outrage. Boko Haram, Nigerian Islamist Group, Kills 59 Students In Their Sleep In Attack On Boarding School In Yobe State Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram’s gunmen killed 59 students in their sleep in an attack on a boarding school in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, news reports said. The attack was made on Buni Yadi, a college run by the federal government near Damat ...

Apparently the school board decided to institute a revisionist form of history books and the KIDS are protesting. Seems the teachers are not too happy with this school board either. "They waved signs declaring, “It’s world history, not white history,” and talked about Cesar Chavez and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Leaders of the walkout urged others to stay out of the streets and not to curse, and sympathetic parents brought poster board, magic markers an ...

Great - more male (?) snowflakes with pansies stuck up their behinds. The male population of this nation is being turned into a bunch of wimps who couldn't fight their way out of a designer messenger bag. Pardon me if I still prefer manly men (and womanly women), and I don't think the male population is infected with "toxic" masculinity or needs any help from liberal university simps. Social engineering of the most extreme (and frightening) variety. You couldn't make ...

But international students pay full price and must certify they have sufficient funds to cover tuition A program to be rolled out at Emory University this fall pledges to pay “100% of demonstrated financial need for undergraduate Undocumented Students (with or without DACA) who are admitted as first-year, first-degree-seeking students,” campus officials state online. More than 200 faculty members recently signed a petition to university President Claire Sterk demanding Emory be declar ...

Schools across the country are dropping out, not just these. These are just the descriptive letter-writing ones. LOL - No, I'm not providing a link for those. I can only post one. Link ...

This is both somewhat religious but also political. I don't care for Hannity but this video shows how Muslims are trying to take over and push Christianity out of this country. They are suing in federal court to force the university to remove the crosses from the school rooms. Why do Christian schools and universities have to bow down to Muslims. Muslim students are enrolled in a Catholic University. Why? To create trouble? I would say yes. As usual, the independent musl ...

In Florida, a group of parents are suing state education officials for coercing their children to repeat third grade because they were opted out of government standardized testing. The Orlando Sentinel reports: "One Orange County plaintiff had a daughter who was on the honor roll, the suit said, but "is being retained in the third grade because of no FSA scores and because her teacher was not informed of the criteria for developing a student portfolio during the school year." State l ...

Randie Paul's assumption that African American college students know nothing of their history was not well received. I'm not sure if this was the right approach to start covering his tracks regarding a 2010 interview where he said essentially that the Civil Rights Act should not apply to private businesses: PAUL: I like the Civil Rights Act in the sense that it ended discrimination in all public domains, and I’m all in favor of that. INTERVIEWER: But? PAUL: You had to a ...

On Monday night, an event put on by the Columbia University chapter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) was disrupted repeatedly by anti-Israel attendees. The event centered around Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon giving a lecture to a crowd of 300 students. Originally, the crowd was going to have invited pro-Israel students and alumni who wanted to hear Danon speak, but the university would not allow this. According to The Algemeiner, Columbia University forced SSI to slash the number of in ...

students at a San Antonio high school and their teacher have been reprimanded for the performance of a skit portraying the assassination of President-elect Donald Trump. The San Antonio Express-News (http://bit.ly/2fKtkI1 ) reports the skit, titled "The Assassination of Donald Trump," was performed last week at Marshall High School. One of the boys used a gunfire sound effect from a cellphone; the other boy, playing Trump, fell to the ground. Barry Perez, spokesman for the Northside Indepe ...

I'm a little late with this because I've had scheduled appts. Sorry.How despicable!!!! Wonder if any of those students had/have family members that were veterans. Nothing is sacred to college students today. They're all out of control and need a good a**-whooping._____________________________________________Several students at Brown University reportedly tore up and threw away American flags that were set up as part of a Veterans Day ceremony on campus. The flags lined the sidewa ...

At the left is the video: TUCSON -- Rowdy students take over a big Tucson school board meeting in protest. It's a pretty wild scene -- and it's all over a Mexican-American studies class, a class that teaches history from a Mexican-American perspective. Here's what's going on. The governing board of the Tucson Unified School District was supposed to consider a plan that would make the class an elective, rather than a required class, like it is now. A state law passed in ...

expand a program that pays U.S. employers to hire foreign STEM students taught in America, a move that could end up punishing American college grads and even the elderly, according to an immigration think tank. Currently, the program urges companies to hire STEM students for a year. CIS said firms are paid up to $10,000 to participate. The new proposal, said CIS, is to add on another year and $2,000 in bonuses. More at washingtonexaminer.com ...

My son in law and I have a pretty good relationship. My daughter and her family spend a lot of time here, driving in to visit quite often. The granddaughter is going to be turning 6 next month and they want to have her party here at my house. My SIL's parents called and said they would like to fly in and surprise him for the party, arrive a couple of days before to do some shopping and help getting the house ready. They asked if they could stay here, and that's fine, ...

There was a little boy on my son's soccer team whose parents (mom and the boyfriend of the week-I think there have been three in the 6 weeks he has been playing) are too lazy to get him to very many practices, so I offered to pick him up and bring him. The newest boyfriend said that the reason that he has only been to one game is because it is too difficult for them to get up early enough to bring him to an 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. game. Last week, I brought him home with me Friday nig ...
