  1. The ultimate reason for the cuts is that taxpayers in many states no longer think higher education is worth the money.

    Sir Glenn I think is somewhat understated here. Nowhere does he mention the idiocy-on-stilts levels of DIE (diversity inclusion equity) staffing at most state university systems. The numbers are jaw-dropping, in both quantity and compensation. Nor does he mention the root cause: waves of graduates with degrees in fields that provide no path to gainful employment other than with the institutions that bestowed them, in “work” that does nothing more than create more demand.

    This seems related. A father wanted to volunteer on his son’s hockey team, but expressed skepticism over the mandated instruction such volunteerism generated. He’s now known as John Doe.

    On another slide, amid a parade of variously configured pink and blue male/female stick-people, the concept of “polygender” is introduced to define “people who identify as multiple genders simultaneously and can be several genders all at once. Or they may alternate between their varying gender identities depending on the day or the week.” Coaches also get a slide on “genderqueer” individuals, who exist in an undefined extra-dimensional gender space that allows them to “reject gender altogether”—though this is not to be confused with “agender” (it gets its own slide), a label that applies to those who are merely “genderless.” Later in the presentation, there are hockey-themed quizzes (“Drag and drop each puck in to the corresponding net”) to test coaches’ understanding of these rarified terms.

    The individuals who created those “instructions” are simply incapable of doing any kind of work of economic value. And as long as universities continue to crank them out, their budgets will remain in states that require ever-growing public subsidies.
