At least 300 students have been prohibited from registering for classes at Northwestern University because they refused to watch a controversial antisemitism training video that they said was biased in favor of Israel, contained factual inaccuracies and could inflame campus tension over Gaza.
College didn’t just teach me about history, that’s just one of the many things I learned there. The biggest thing I learned was strategies for learning (learned how to learn better), and that learning from an expert in their field can accelerate that learning more than most other methods.
The rest of your gripe seems to be misplaced understanding of what happens at a normal undergraduate institution and cost of education. I don’t think I can approach your misunderstandings in this format, but as for cost of education? Give me a piece of paper that says college should be free for everyone and I’ll sign it. The only thing I personally paid for to go to college was food. I don’t think starving was really an option for 3.5 years so I probably would’ve had to pay for that anyway.
