My nephew just made me very proud...he dropped out of college.

He enrolled at a local college in the SF Bay Area and got hit with the critical racist theory crap. In his first college math class the instructor told the students that everything they knew about math was a product of white supremacy and racism, and they would first have to unlearn things before they can be taught. Same thing happened in the English class.

My nephew thought I'd be angry when he told me that he was dropping out and was going to trade school (most likely to be an electrician), but I told him that I'm incredibly proud that he thinks for himself and saw what was going on. Plus, I told him that he'll be much happier as an electrician than if he had graduated with some liberal arts degree and had to work in an office.

I hope a lot more kids are taking the same route.

Edited to note: his father is Mexican, so he was getting a free ride from the state and could have gone to any university he wanted to in the state (maybe not Stanford, but every UC campus for sure). He knew what he was giving up but he wanted nothing to do with the social justice nonsense.

Cool! definitely a better course of action.
He can learn that other crap on his own and pick and choose who writes the material.

Know two young men, dropped out after the first semester. Both are in sales, and at 22 and 19 respectively, they’re both making $100k plus.

Good for him. He is taking a lonely path, help him where you can.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Check out master electrician, plumber, HVAC or all three for residential service.

Good for him! Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this is that there are a lot of young men in women in this country that can and DO think for themselves despite the incredible amount of peer pressure and social bullying they’re subjected to, in social media and in society. It’s something I am privy to every day with my son and daughter, both of whom are proudly white (1/4 Vietnamese actually 😁), conservative, Christians. For your nephew to have made such a choice, despite the free ride and party time that awaited him in the State University system, is likely proof that he’ll succeed and flourish while his former classmates are paying large fractions of their measly salary to therapists and pharmacists the rest of their lives. 😂

Our son chose the same path as your nephew coincidentally, he too is working toward being an electrician.

I dropped out of college.

(big surprise)

Spent a couple years working in my uncle's grocery store.

Did concrete work in Bozeman for 7-8 years.



Went broke, got lazy and moved back home.

Just dropped my son off at university today. He wants to be a doctor so if that’s his dream he better stick with college. My youngest wants nothing to do with college even though he’s an honor student. He’s going for his physical and verification test on Monday with the Army

If a kid has a good head on their shoulders, they know how to sort the wheat from the chaff. Part of life is figuring out how to deal with jerks. Jerk clients, jerk acquaintances, jerk bosses, jerk teachers, etc. Sometimes you can’t run away from them. My guess is in his heart he knew that college and a college based career wasn’t really what he wanted to do with his life. Nothing wrong with that, and identifying his interests early will save time and money. In any event, good for him for making a decision to better himself and to follow his gut and heart.

Thank you. That’s the American way.

Keep up the good work.
