This is an example of how out of touch university students(faculty too) are with the working classes.

The University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school started trending on Twitter Thursday, but not because of its academic prowess or comments from a famous alum like former President Donald Trump.



Rather, the school caught the attention of users online after a professor posted about a social experiment she conducted in class that inadvertently showcased just how clueless her students are about middle-class American life.



Nina Strohminger, a professor of legal studies and business ethics at the school, said in a tweet Thursday, "I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k."

Antifa threatens violence if speakers exercise their First Amendment rights and school administration blames the victims.



Antifa Shuts Down College Event as Administrators Blame Republican Students



Republican students at a New Hampshire Ivy League college say the school's administration deserted them and made false and embarrassing allegations against them in order to avoid bad publicity by canceling an event under heavy protest by the far-left extremist group Antifa.



Antifa and its sympathizers made several threats against the event including offering money to anyone who assaulted Ngo. A local group called Dartmouth Anarchists also posted violent insinuation about the event on social media, with one member tweeting: "So long as we stand, Dartmouth will never be a safe space for [right-wingers] to spew their misinformation. Wear black to show your solidarity and hide your identity.



Just hours before Ngo was about to take stage, school administrators ordered the live event to be transitioned to a virtual event only. The schools later issued a statement blaming the move on failures of the College Republicans.



"In light of concerning information from Hanover police regarding safety issues, similar concerns expressed by the College Republican leadership, and challenges with the student organization's ability to staff a large public event and communicate effectively (including dissemination of the visitor policy and a prohibition of bags in the building), the College has requested that the Extremism in America panel be moved online," the college wrote in a statement it released after moving the event online.

A libertarian legal scholar who was set to join the faculty at Georgetown Law has been placed on administrative leave by the school because of a controversy surrounding several now-deleted tweets he posted about President Joe Biden's pledge to nominate a black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court.



Ilya Shapiro, vice president and director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, was supposed to assume a new position at Georgetown as a lecturer and as the executive director of the law school's Center for the Constitution on Tuesday. But the dean of the law school said Monday that Shapiro was placed on administrative leave "pending an investigation into whether he violated our policies and expectations on professional conduct, non-discrimination, and anti-harassment."



Following news reports that Associate Justice Stephen Breyer will retire this year, Shapiro took to Twitter to comment on Biden's campaign promise to exclusively nominate a black woman to fill a Supreme Court vacancy if one became available during his term.



"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart," Shapiro tweeted, referring to the Chief United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.



"Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors," he said.



"Because Biden said he's only consider black women for SCOTUS, his nominee will always have an asterisk attached. Fitting that the Court takes up affirmative action next term," he said in a follow-up tweet. Then he posted a poll asking whether Biden was racist, sexist, or both for promising to only nominate a black woman.



His tweets sparked intense backlash on social media, with many progressives accusing Shapiro of harboring racist views that should disqualify him from holding a position at Georgetown Law. The mob was led by Slate writer Mark Joseph Stern.

More prog hypocrisy. Racism is bad. Sexism is bad. Let's pick a black woman because she's a black woman.



Another in the torrent of examples indicating America is collapsing.

There will always be an asterisk beside the Biden nominee. She got the job because she is black and female not because she is the most qualified.

But that won't mean she won't stay in the job. The US government cannot replace judges, only appoint them.



The fact that Biden is appointing a judge based on political ideology is terrifying. But he's only doing what his predecessors have done.



It is corruption at the highest level of government when you appoint senior judges based on their political stance.

Americans are used to it.
