A few months ago, my wife and I realized that our older son who was finishing up his sophomore year of high school hasn’t really talked about what he wants to major in at college, where he might want to attend college, or any future plans for that matter. Not a big deal, but we thought maybe we should start to get a bit proactive on the matter. We gave him a summer project to think about subjects that interest him and look into what colleges have good programs in his areas of interest. We also thought it would be a good idea to visit a few universities of different sizes so he could get a feel for it. We could visit small, medium and large university campuses to see where he feels the most comfortable.
Being lazy, we just visited the first university on our list, Western Washington University. WWU is traditionally a pretty liberal college that currently has around 15k students. This was to be our mid-sized college campus visit. This visit was more about the size of the school than the actual school itself.
Arriving on campus on a beautiful early September day, we waited for the tour to begin in the student rec center. Two female college students led the tour and started off by introducing themselves to the group and by giving us their pronouns. Immediately I was irritated, I took a deep sigh and rolled my eyes before settling on the probability that they have to give their pronouns to appease the crazy people. After this they did their public acknowledgement that the university is built on former Native American land. They actually have to say this at all school events in Washington State, so this wasn’t anything new to me. Although it is still annoying and beyond ridiculous.
On our way to Bellingham, where the university is located, we passed 3 or 4 Indian casinos. I have absolutely nothing against Native Indians, I actually feel for them as a people and appreciate their traditional culture. But let’s not act all holier than thou and morally superior by demanding acknowledgement of their former land when their tribes made deals with the government allowing them to rake in money by preying on people’s addictions. Let’s face it, as bad as California is, they don’t have to acknowledge that California was once a part of Mexico every time people gather there. At least I don’t think they do. Maybe I shouldn’t be giving them any ideas.
I also think it is ridiculous to have a black national anthem played before NFL football games, why don’t they have one for every other group that has been marginalized or treated badly in America as well. We could have a national anthem played for the Chinese, the Japanese, the Mexicans, the Native Indians, the Irish, the Italians, the Jews. We could have an hour of national anthems played before every sporting event. Why just the blacks, and why are the Native Americans the only group that has been given a cash cow like casinos to operate?
I digress.
While on the college campus tour, the guides mentioned that there are separate dorms for blacks and the LGBTQ+. To which my son said to me, “isn’t that segregation, isn’t that what America is trying to get away from?” I told him it was for the crazy people who can’t live around other groups of people. Most of the black students and gay students will live with the other students on campus. These segregated dorms are for the people who can’t function in environments where people might be different and have different beliefs, morals or opinions. These segregated dorms are for the people who can’t tolerate others. You see, we are forced to appease the people who lack the skills or desire to tolerate others.
This made me think about when my family went to Disney World and Univeral Studios Orlando in October of 2020. This was obviously in the middle of the Covid hoax. They scanned our foreheads and made us wear masks while forcing us to sanitize our hands to the point where they became slimy and sticky. We did this to appease the crazies who feared they would die from being in the presence of other humans.
Now let me ask you this, would anyone who was deathly afraid of contracting Covid and dying be at a crowded amusement park? So essentially no one at the crowed amusement park was afraid of dying from Covid, yet we all had to mask up in 85 degree/85% humidity weather and get scanned by a temperature gun that probably didn’t even have a battery in it. In other words, we all did this stupid crap to appease people who weren’t even there.
Does this make sense? The precautions we have to take and the crazy stuff we have to do is to appease the crazy people who aren’t going to leave their home anyway. Being unvaccinated, my family couldn’t attend sporting events or eat at restaurants in order to appease people who refuse to leave their homes anyway. If you are afraid of getting Covid by eating at a restaurant, you would Uber Eats the food instead. It’s like playing rap music at a venue before a country music concert. Who are you trying to appease?
After the tour of the campus, my son said he would never attend that college because it’s too woke. I told him the purpose of us going on the tour was more about getting a feel for the size of the campus rather than the college itself, and it’s possible all universities are now this woke, I don’t really know, I haven’t been to college for a very long time.
Before getting back to our car for the long drive home, my son and I went back into the student rec center to use the bathroom where we began the tour. As we were walking by the gym, I was telling my son that this school might not be any stranger or more woke than any other universities. Literally as I was saying this, a muscular trans person with blue hair, wearing a sports bra walked by us. My son and I just laughed at each other, and I said, “I think that might be a sign from God that this isn’t the right school for you.”
How lucky your son is to have a logical rational thinking father like you! OMG! I'm glad that he could see the experience with your guidance. So I'd love to hear the continuation of what choices were made. My son is now 24 and opted for the avoidance of it all. An extreme path. However, replacing the crazies with YouTube ed videos and conversing on games with other like minded avoiders has gotten him nowhere. His dad has Alzheimer's and in a nursing home. Will this all change when Trump gets back in?? 🙏
Even college students with firm beliefs and solid family support are indoctrinated into the woke ideology. Once they leave home, the balance of reasonable rebuttals is absent and the voice of logic gets muddled. Having to use preferred pronouns, being told whites are the problem for social ills, and seeing guys identifying as girls, suddenly becomes the norm.
It's similar to Stockholm Syndrome, or being brainwashed, these students are in the thick of it while lacking perspective.
