NY Inmates - 1 Harvard Debate team - 0

[Sid Barrett]

I will suggest that the ethnic makeup of the Harvard debate Team had little to no impact on their defeat. Maybe...just maybe... the cause of their defeat had more to do with the quality (or lack there of) of their instruction and how THAT is molded by political correctness and embraced by a University that openly looks to indoctrinate its students in left wing ideology. Just my $.02.

If this is your theory- how come they were the national debate champions last year? You think the cadets at West Point are taught with a Left Wing molded PCness? Nice theories everyone, letting your biases come through? Try facts

Well, I give credit to the inmates, they were able to absorb the instruction and use it.

Any regrets having your kid go to her school vs an Ivy? Did the school make her, or did she make herself?

[jonriv]

No regrets- the school she went to (Babson College) has an excellent reputation and name recognition that oped doors for her. It allowed her a choice of jobs after college and the beginnings of a great career. A school is always what you make of it- It molds you how you let yourself be molded. having a great "brand" is always a help

The students that were in my daughter's HS that went "Ivy" were all brilliant.

Always fun to watch JR go proprietarily apeshit on this type of thread. Thanks buddy.

Ahh yes, I am sure there are plenty of "brilliant" people out there that think Hillary is the smartest women in the USA and Bernie is an economics genius.

Considering the backgrounds and towns the students that I know come from-none would be big fans of either Hillary or Bernie.
