In a symbolic demonstration of discontent, graduate students at Columbia University dramatically tore apart their diplomas during a campus protest, signaling their belief that an Ivy League education has lost its value and has become more about activism than academic achievement, sources have confirmed.
Clad in protest gear rather than caps and gowns, these students showcased their shredded diplomas as banners of defiance against what they describe as an overly commercialized educational system.
The protest, named ‘Diploma Demolition for Protest Recognition,’ aimed to highlight the students’ view that real learning occurred not in lecture halls, but through the social justice activities and demonstrations they organized. “Our real education was in activism, not in antiquated classrooms,” proclaimed one student as she waved pieces of her diploma in the air.
Columbia, caught off guard by the bold statement from its students, has scrambled to address the grievances expressed, which center around the university’s perceived prioritization of profit over education.
As of press time, the university’s administration is reportedly considering offering a new form of recognition for activist students—certificates of protest proficiency, crafted from tear-resistant material to symbolize the enduring spirit of student activism.
How true!
Most Kindergarten students are smarter than their older counterparts.First look up who and what a Jesuit is . Then research it all the way back to our inception as a nation. Columbia university was created for the Jesuits by the Jesuits. To churn out these terrorists within! Jesuits sit in our entire government . Look closely and you can tell who they are ! It has been the Jesuits that started the destruction of America from day one. The most famous Jesuit sits in the Vatican. Look it up folks . As Trump says liberation day starts now!!!!
Higher learning is nothing but indoctrination and pathetic hatred for America.
Absolutely no more tax payer money should be given to produce insane morons. We have enough of them in The Democratic Party with extra idiots who call themselves republicans . Education means the turning out of the dumbed down and insane . While removing their identities. Turning them into useful fools who follow the terrorists down the rabbit hole of destruction.
Bullies and pussies .Does? The resemblance to these students look familiar?
Except…. Mostly all are democrats. If they are republicans they are rinos. Ivy League is now poison ivy. Know nothings and do nothings. Just cell phone chatting and taking up space. Then destroy and destroy and destroy.
Well said. The same people screaming are the ones who aren’t smart enough for a real education They choose what they take in college, they choose what they do in life. It’s easier to blame the system than take responsibility
I am soooo happy that they could actually realize the same results without mommy or daddy having to pay. Better late (after getting the sheepskin) than being required to see a video of Babylon Bee or Mark Dice during a lengthy job search while unemployed to learn what all their proctors were smiling about in a Daily Skrape ‘toon.
Amazing how so many graduates of higher learning are so incredibly stupid and arrogant.
So when these “activists” finally grow up and decide that they need that diploma…they’re going to try move Hell and Earth to get another one. Even to the point of lying to whomever to get a duplicate! I actually think that the appropriate thing to do would be to do is find out which person tore up their diploma…don’t allow them to apply for debt forgiveness and don’t give them another copy of their diploma. Let them face, probably for the first time in their lives, to take responsibility for their own actions!!!
