Cal State Long Beach and the 99%

On the campus of Cal State Long Beach, instructors are protesting the Board of Trustees' 9% tuition hike.

Faculty members are pressing the legislature to grant another multimillion dollar disbursement in order to stave off the sixth straight increase in years.

As governments continue to push tax money into the state university system, the price of college continues to skyrocket, passing six times the rate of inflation.

As tuition increases, for certain the faculty will no longer be teaching the 99%.

One thing is unmistakable, they have been teaching the vast majority of youth who have taken to the streets in major cities throughout the country. Where else would the vast hordes of entitled youth, embittered that the state has not given them more, have come from, but universities which have indoctrinated hundreds of thousands of young people to demand without working, to devolving into self-serving self-pity instead of self-affirming responsibility?

Colleges have been prolonging the childhood of young adults for nearly five decades, ever since the liberal postdoctoral students became professors and instructors at these once-august institutions. Debasing the values on which a classical education is founded, modern-day faculty have pressed youth, straight out a more inane high school education, to inculcating feelings of self-worth through racial stereotypes and fluffy society courses that have nothing to do with preparing young people to make informed decisions about the vast real world that they will have to enter into with trepidation.
