As if it wasn’t boomers running the colleges.
In the 1980s, boomers were in their 30s/early 40s, so no they were not likely to be senior leadership in colleges at the time.
Read his comment again, you disputed a false premise!
Well I don't run a college. You might as well say, "As if black people don't commit armed robbery."
All the people down voting this comments are the ones who u ironically NEEDED to go to college to learn critical thinking, interpersonal communication, how to debate, and how to prove/disprove rationally.
I get the feeling a lot of lemmy users are high school sophomores who would upvote anyone who calls mom a bitch for taking them to the dentist.
You're 100℅ right and it's sad to see how bad some people's logic is.
College admins are a subset of boomers. This isn't about boomers. This is about colleges.
The world is easier to process when people think in simple memes and see every issue as binary Extreme Good vs Extreme Evil. They can take in minimal info, make a moral judgement at a glance that agrees with the rest of their echo chamber, feel the angelic glow and scroll on to the next item in the feed. It's super efficient once you realize the so-called "gray areas" are just disingenuous shilling for the Wrong Side.
