“Kamala Harris,” James
Howard Kunstler pithily observed, “was just pulled out of a
hat, like a rabbit. And everybody involved knew she was a dud, a slow learner,
inattentive, not well-educated, lazy, possibly high a lot of the time,
self-medicating due to anxiety, insecurity, purposelessness.”
Yet college professors overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris
over Donald Trump for the presidency. According to an Inside
Higher Education poll, 78
percent of college professors plan to vote for Harris on November 5th, while
only 8 percent said they will vote for Trump.
Why? Because a high percentage of college faculty
members—like Kamala Harris—are lazy.
On college campuses across America, rigor and discipline have
collapsed. Grade inflation is rampant because professors are lazy. It’s too damn hard for an instructor to distinguish between an A exam paper and a B. It’s easier to give
every student an A grade. Even at Harvard, the nation’s most elite university, 80 percent of undergraduate students have an A- grade average.
Academic assessment in graduate programs is almost
nonexistent. Most graduate students get A or B grades, and plagiarism is no
longer a serious academic offense.
Again, Harvard is an example. Harvard president Claudine Gay
was accused of plagiarizing passages in her
dissertation and three
academic articles. Harvard investigated these allegations and cleared her
of any intentional wrongdoing. After all, plagiarism is no longer an act of
academic dishonesty. It’s merely a sign of laziness, and laziness is
not a sin in the world of American higher education.
We should not be surprised to learn that lazy college
professors support Kamala Harris, a lazy vice president who wants to become our
lazy president.
