Shocking what you overhear when your son is taking college courses from home.

He's a junior at @Penn and the other night we overheard a professor discussing a paper.

At the end a student spoke up:

"I think it's important to point out that the author of this paper is a 71 year old White Male. Its validity has to be examined in light of this fact."

The professor agreed!

Of course the @Penn prof agreed. Do I dare say she? I didn't see her but her voice betrayed her XX.

It's SO normal, SO ubiquitous, to make agist, racist, sexist statements that throw mud on today's hated group @Penn.

Just be aware, parents, that your sons and daughters are being taught to look down on certain people because of the color of their skin and their sex.

Illiberal, you say?

Call the @Penn Dean of Students and complain that your son or daughter has to hide their feelings, their opinions, their "lived experiences", their political leanings, their deepest values and most foundational loves.

That he or she lives in fear of being "outed."

Tell him a girl was thrown out of a @Penn sorority last year because it was found out that she voted for THE HORROR Trump, like 70 plus millions other good Americans.

He will say (I know, I've tried it).

"@Penn is an institution that values diversity of thought and inclusion. If your son feels this way he needs to speak up and his professors, the administration and his peers will respond with justice and compassion."

This is LAUGHABLE. Insulting really.

But I think he believed it.

These people live in a monoculture that truly believes itself to be the universe of goodness and justice. Everyone outside of it are mere dregs of humanity, unevolved troglodytes.

My son showed me a TikTok video recently. Very funny, a boy looking studious in front of a computer. Caption:

"Me, pretending I'm progressive so I can get a good grade."

This is the reality at almost every college, including the hallowed @Penn.

Zero diversity of thought. It's a monoculture and dissenters are NOT tolerated.

If your child has the deep misfortune to have been born of pale folk, he or she will be treated with suspicion and marginalized.

If your child is "of color" like mine, they will get a bump up if they act and dress urban, lower economic.

If they are just nice middle class respectful kids with normal hair and pressed clothes, they will be assumed to have joined the white supremacists.

In either case they will be encouraged to see themselves as sad, wretched victims of a rigged system.

How does this help them?

No one says how it is supposed to help a "minority" to feel insulted, despised, futile, destined for failure, trapped, and surrounded by aggressors committed to their destruction.

The TRUTH is, and I know because I've LIVED it,

is that the US and Americans are kind, welcoming, accepting, just, fair, openminded, embracing, patient.

The world knows this, as its filled with millions who would give a kidney for a US passport.

But @Penn doesn't know it anymore.

What it knows it was every college (and high school and elementary school now) knows.

That the US is bad to the bone, and its the fault of those "awful white people" who must be punished and marginalized.

I could give dozens of examples. My son's Catholic faith has been aggressed and insulted many times. He was once shown a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe having perverse relations with a woman. This was for his education, they said.

His beautiful natal language has been culturally colonized by Latinx, a monstrous assault on Spanish, the tongue of Miguel Cervantes and Jose Martí. This has happened in advanced SPANISH! And the teacher only used socialist readings to teach the language, which she did badly.

In short, I'm glad my son has been home so I could experience just how bad it is.

And @Penn Development, those people that beg for money because they only have as much as many poor countries in their coffers, you won't be seeing any from us, even though my husband is also alum.

Which reminds me, with so much money, why do you charge so much for a diploma? Does that seem a fair thing to do to a "person of color" like my son?

And I say for a diploma, because it's not an education.

It's an indoctrination.
