If you’ve ever watched Chris Cuomo on CNN, you may have wondered, How did this guy get a TV show? He can barely speak English. There are nights when Cuomo emits entire paragraphs that mean nothing at all, just pure gibberish. Cuomo went to Yale, which has famously high admissions standards. Is Cuomo a secret genius? Does he have some amazing talent that’s invisible on TV? Maybe he speaks flawless Urdu or has a deep grounding in particle physics.
Actually, it turns out he has an even more impressive qualification: His father, Mario Cuomo, was the governor of New York. If you want to get into a top American college, the most effective credential of all is to have a parent who’s a well-known Democratic politician.
But don’t take our word for it. Ask Dante de Blasio, son of Bill de Blasio, the incompetent mayor of New York. There’s no evidence the younger de Blasio did remarkably well in high school. And yet, like Chris Cuomo, he somehow got into Yale. Once there, Dante de Blasio found himself surrounded by people just like himself: the thoroughly average children of other prominent liberals. That would include the offspring of at least three Democrats currently serving in the U.S. Senate: Michael Bennet, Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse. All of them sent kids to Yale.

These universities are no longer places of higher learning. They have been corrupted to the point that they are just handing out degrees for attendance of the well connected.
ReplyDeleteA.O.C. is a perfect example of how broken the universities are.
I pay 100k cash every year for my family’s education. I agree with you but what am I to do? I’m very successful and trying to do the right thing.
DeleteCouldn’t be more right on.
ReplyDeleteChris Cuomo sounds and behaves like a stereotypical connected Italian American. Listening to him is like watching a straight to DVD Mob movie. He's a caricature of a tough guy.
ReplyDeleteYale was ok.
ReplyDeleteSo what does this say about Yale? The adage "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" works with education too. So one goes to Yale, big deal. The credential does not make anyone smarter or more creative, or more diplomatic. Both of our kids went to a University in the Midwest and our son declared it was so liberal it oozed. Hillary gave the commencement address when he graduated and it was nothing more than a campaign speech for Bill; kids are taught isms not how to be productive.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't just the case with colleges. Same goes for elementary, middle and high schools in this country. The democrats fight school choice tooth and nail. This because the want little black children kept in chains. Black children are nothing but slaves in training for the democrat plantation is the democrat platform. Nothing but votes to the democrats not even human beings. If the democrats looked at blacks as human beings then they would be forced to like like they do. Inner city zoo animals live in better conditions in the democrat controlled areas then do most of the black voters. These children are forced by the democrats to attend sub standard schools so the democrats can keep them dumbed down and chained up to the welfare system. The democrats only want their children having the opportunity to attend good schools. The problem is because they have been dumbed down blacks have historically voted stupidly and is why they find themselves in the plight they are in.
