Graduation ceremonies have become battlegrounds for radical activism instead of celebrations of achievement. Videos show students hijacking commencement speeches to rant about “systemic oppression” while wearing Palestinian scarves and shouting anti-American slogans. Parents worked overtime to pay tuition – now their kids waste this sacred moment pushing Marxist agendas.
These outbursts didn’t appear out of thin air. For years, universities pumped students full of critical race theory and victimhood mentality. California tried forcing ethnic studies courses that teach kids to hate their country. Thankfully, lawmakers paused this madness after parents demanded accountability for antisemitic campus behavior. Common sense is fighting back against the woke indoctrination factories.
The real victims? Black students trapped in failing schools run by leftist ideologues. Inner-city schools lack math textbooks but stock “queer theory” graphic novels. Project 2025’s education reforms would defund these broken systems and let families choose better options through school vouchers. Every child deserves a shot at the American Dream – not just those in wealthy suburbs.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration keeps pushing student loan forgiveness as a band-aid for skyrocketing tuition costs. Forgiveness schemes punish truck drivers and nurses who paid their debts responsibly. Real solutions require cutting bloated university bureaucracies and woke diversity staff draining resources from actual education.
Graduates entering this economy face tougher challenges than any generation before. Instead of preparing them with job skills, colleges teach useless courses about “decolonizing algebra” and “climate reparations.” Employers want workers who can think critically – not crybabies clutching participation trophies.
Some activists claim throwing tantrums at graduation “raises awareness.” Patriots know better. True change comes through hard work, faith, and community – not screaming at grandma during “Pomp and Circumstance.” These spoiled brats insult every immigrant who risked everything for a diploma.
The silver lining? Most students just want to celebrate their achievements without political theater. Quiet heroes walk that stage – future nurses, engineers, and teachers who ignored the noise and focused on building something real. Their determination gives hope for America’s future.
Conservatives must keep fighting to reclaim education from Marxist professors and administrative bloat. School choice, vocational training, and patriotic curriculum will empower the next generation. Let’s honor graduates who earned their success – not the crybullies turning caps and gowns into protest props.
