At best, this one gets a (small case) meh.

KF, please - what does Crawford pay you so you keep publishing this drivel for him?

Crawford simply has no idea what he's talking about. In the U.S. the Department of Education is about to get BleachBitted...and this should include the Federal Financial Aid scam that underpins Mississippi's "higher education" which is a farce.

Someone needs to get DOGE to check for Bill Crawford's offshore accounts funded by USAID cutouts. No one else would pay for this pravda-tier drivel.

Naturally Crawford is allowed to spew drivel about education as he admits he cannot understand reading strategy or a biofilm. And, natch, all the honors recipients are "diverse" at Millsaps. Not a white male available?

Go look up the National Science Foundations DEI funding at Northeastern University on DEI subjects uncovered by Ted Cruz. Tell me we have some tremendous shortage of bright whites and bright white young men and need even more imports of Indians and Indian females, as they get unlimited funding and a middle class young white man gets NO scholarships cuz Equity says all others go first no matter your board scores or IQ.

Crawford, THINK. THINK about what you just wrote after the last decade of social engineering insanity.

Really bright students will leave and not return (unless there is a family business to be run or strings on the inheritance) no matter what the major. Some won't even come back for the family business other than to check to see if it's being run well.
They will leave because of frustration with idiots in government. They won't come back because they've seen how much better life is when you don't have Bubba in charge and some puffed up preachers screaming threats if they don't get their piece of the action.( If you don't believe that last part, volunteer in any campaign here and watch the preachers, black and white, march in and out ).
Despite the fact, there are 12 people dead from tornados just last night and we know floods and hurricanes here as well, the GOP (which runs the state) agrees that FEMA and other emergency services should disappear forgetting entirely that no one state can fund enough money to deal with disasters. Indeed, without FEMA monitoring , there would be more deaths. But, see, you don't know how FEMA works. You think the weather service operates in it's own cubby hole. You think the FAA doesn't need to know weather or FEMA know if the Asheville airport was accessible. They won't mind our Veterans Administration being less effective or our social security and Medicare being unable to function.
Really smart students (who aren't poor little rich boys who didn't make friends or girlfriends unless they were money hungry) understand that just because you are smart in tech, doesn't mean you are smart in every subject. Smart people who are well adjusted know you can't know about every subject and defer to those who studied the subject at hand. And, by the way...all those fired federal employees pay taxes and mortgages or rent and buy goods and services. Way to wreck the economies of not just DC, but those who commute from nearby towns in Virginia and Maryland. It was "willy nilly" without any regard to how many retirements were coming or if these new employees would be better than some of the long term people. MAGA ( which has zero resemblance to Republican conservatism and would horrify Bill Buckley) is taking a wrecking ball to the economy and government and the law because the greedy narcissists at the top will gleefully buy it all for pennies and we become completely at their mercy.
The wimps in Congress are such wimps, they shiver and shake and hope to get crumbs. Bimbo Marge probably thinks she's really rich and sexy enough to survive. LOL she thinks women will be allowed to own property or even vote. Margie, baby, these old boys plan to mimic the worse of the Islam and Protestantism . Why should some weak bimbo have stuff when the Proud Boys need to be rewarded? Maybe Roger or Steve is that desperate but I wouldn't count on it.
I believe what they said. They weren't joking. Neither is Putin who will try to recreate the Russian Empire of Catherine the Great but with Czar Valdimir . He'll even let Trump develop some of the new Empire.

11:53 AM said: “But, see, you don't know how FEMA works.”

11:53, you mean we DIDN’T know how FEMA works. We do now via FEMA’s $220 million grant to house illegal immigrants in just one Pakistani owned hotel in just one American city – while telling tax paying hurricane victims that don’t support Democrats, you’re on your own, F-off.

That’s how FEMA “worked.”

Which is even worse than student loan forgiveness to those that got worthless degrees.

@11:53 TAKE YOUR MEDS!
We The People elected Donald Trump in a Landslide of REAL VOTES (not the fake ones Obama, Biden, and Harris, fabricated) and we gave him a mandate to wreck the Deep State!
Limousine Libs better take their stolen loot and flea to Cuba because Elon Musk and DOGE are going to find your crimes and Trumps DOJ is going to charge you with High Crimes and Treason!

Bill's intern can always rent space at Northpark Mall and open a Metacognitive Reading store.

I wonder if 11:53 can spell Xanax?

Thank you, 12:12, for raining on 11:53's parade. Those who work for a living know exactly what you are talking about - it is obvious that 11:53 thinks that the money will never run out.

These students expose how dumb I am & how far our schools have come. And to Shad’s comments, we need more anthropology majors in politics & fewer lawyers.

11:53, you have not a clue about how FEMA works. You don't understand its charter, its structure, the Stafford Act, or how state EMAs are already well versed, staffed, and experienced in handling response and recovery, especially in areas you hate, namely "red" states like MS and FL. You know, Federalism versus the mantra of EM, "Every disaster is local."

As you delved deeper into your pants wetting rant, you further demonstrated you don't even understand the government you claim to know so much about.

If there is no demonstrable public need for a particular field of study the state supported schools should eliminate the program period. That includes most of the "arts" music, philosophy, sociology, useless literature, etc. If you want such drivel pay for it yourself through private education and/or schools for only the super rich. Public funding must be tied to public need nothing more. That should apply to education and all other state functions.

FEMA was created on April 1st, 1979. It was created by a corrupt, commie Democrat "do gooder" that needed another bureacracy to funnel money from the taxpayers, and grow the current Commie Democrat EMPIRE that is presently in the process of being fully dismantled.
America did fucking great before FEMA, and will do great after it's gone. Bank on it you child, and get back in your parent's basement.

@2:45 Yep the left is going ape-shit because they are losing their sources to steal taxpayer money. This is how democrats become multi-millionaires while in office. If they aren’t directly getting kickbacks, they are insider-trading. I just read that they couldn’t muster more than 5 people at each Tesla location to protest on Saturday because USAID isn’t funneling money through NGOs to pay the protesters. 😂

Is this why student enrollment at Millsaps is plummeting?

lower case meh is right

Simple high school economics:

When the supply of anthropology degrees outpaces demand for them, wages suffer. The same is true for engineering, STEM, etc.

Jeb Bush was lambasted for commenting "‘Hey, that psych major deal … that’s great … but realize you’re going to be working at Chick-fil-A.”

But he's right. It's simple.
