View Full Version : Ivy league schools canceled classes after Trump declared the victor

Ivy League schools are supposed to be full of America's smartest minds. The universities mold future leaders. Or, that's what we've been led to believe. Judging from the post-Trump win reaction, it seems like that might not be the case.

Harvard and Princeton University both canceled some classes following Trump's victory, according to The Harvard Crimson and The Daily Pennsylvanian.

Yes, Ivy League students were so triggered by Donald Trump returning to the White House that kids needed time off to process what had happened.

Again, we're supposed to believe these are America's next leaders.

The most embarrassing response might have been from Georgetown University in the nation's capital. Students were offered crayons to color with and cookies to eat in order to rebound from Donald Trump winning, according to The Free Press.

It costs around $80,000 a year to attend Georgetown when counting tuition, room and board and other expenses. Imagine spending the price of a nice car every year on an education and then needing crayons and cookies because Kamala Harris didn't beat Donald Trump in the election.

Many in corporate USA called in sick the following day, and it was understood. Rural types celebrated but the cities did not.

You are a two face fvck. Always going along with the winning side on everything, which is why you were not backing either Trump or Harris before the election. We all know if Trump lost you would be in here clowning Trump supporters.

It's on sight if I ever see you in person.

Yes, and I changed my views in this election along with many other young people, including Latinos. (My change happened in 2021 or 2022)

I was here rooting for Trump months before this election.

Only people who wanted him to win in 2024 get to gloat.

Not true at all. The ones who go through an anarchist phase know more about Marx, Malatesta, Rocker than most people know about jobs they've worked for 20 years, and came to conclusion based on that; they're open to having their minds changed because they've learned so much they realize how much they actually don't know about certain subjects. Some did suffer from dunning kruger valley of despair effect though, I know I did. When you're so used to being one of the smartest kids in your high school and you go to a university where so many kids can lap you intellectually is very humbling.

The people in this thread shitting on ivy leaguers like THOSE are the dumb ones are so full of themselves it's actually impressive.

You've been patting yourself on the back a lot this week. Nice job going out on a limb with a 50% chance of being right. You're not Latino btw, FKBallerAce already outed you many years ago which you no doubt remember. Those who came along after that might believe your shtick though.

I laugh at anyone who is fully diseased with politics so badly they can't see clearly anymore (sometimes you fit that bill, to be fair). It's rampant on both sides, but the Woke garbage pushes it over the top on the left. So yes, some of these new meltdowns are glorious. I make fun of both sides though.

No they're not. And that's why they had to cancel classes and huddle away in a safe space corner instead of accepting and processing what was going on around them.

I went to elite schools growing up. Not Ivy league for college, but my high school was top ranked in the country and many of my peers went to ivy league schools.

There are many different modes of intelligence. Ivy league brats who get there largely because of their parents wealth / tutoring / family expectations are the least likely people to change their minds on these types of things.

Their brains are like super computers that have been hardwired to be ultra productive and efficient, but they lack diversity of experience with other rungs of society below the one they grew 99% up in. Which consists of... everybody else.

You went to a public school in Kansas Thurston. And then flunked out the military. There is nothing elite about you and you believe the dumbest things imaginable because it is you that is so easy to manipulate.

You can't even really have "many peers" that attend ivy league because they basically only accept Valedictorians. You're not going to find public high schools with lots of students who go onto Harvard and Princeton. It will be ONE student that goes onto Harvard. The super over-achiever.

The high schools that do have lots who go onto to Ivy? Elite Private boarding schools that have insane requirements themselves.

No they don't.

There are tons of high school students who get into ivy league schools who aren't valedictorians because they come from magnet vocational science and math institute high schools that already recruited the best talent from each town and consolidated it into one school. And then tons more who get in with daddy's alumni status and donations without ever being top of their class. Valedictorians would be the minority at a lot of these schools.

:oldlol:

That's the rule but not the exception. There are magnet public high schools you have to test into that are free of charge. And I went to one of them and some of my peers went to Cornell, Brown, and Princeton without being valedictorians.

Some quick googling:

Harvard - only 63% attended public high school
Princeton - same as Harvard, 63%
Brown University - only 58% of its students came from a public high school

ALL IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS - of those who did attend public high school, 27% were either Valedictorian or Salutatorians


So less than half of Ivy League students attended public high school and were not were either Valedictorian or Salutatorian. If you went to a public high school, even a really good one, there are not "LOTS" of Ivy League peers there.

My dude, you may have a comprehension problem. There are public school districts that exist where they pluck 2-3 kids from each town in the county and put them all in one high school based on entrance exam results.

My graduating class was less than 60 students. Some of them that went to ivy league schools would've been valedictorians in their regular public township high schools, where kids generally didn't give a **** about school. But they went somewhere where finishing top 20 was like finishing top 1-2 at the average school.

These type of schools exist in every state and are "public schools". Huge difference between one of them and the average public school where most kids don't give a ****.

Public school by definition means they are open to the "PUBLIC". What school did you go to?

Public schools by definition are government tax payer funded schools of the state. Most are your average high school and some are specialized institutions.

Private schools exist based off of the tuition and income transferred directly from the students families to the school.

The school I went to? Was of the former variety. I'm not going to name drop anything because some of yall are BIG time wierdos. And... quite frankly, if you were half the sleuth you think you are, you'd already know.

Which makes this conversation about the intelligence of Ivy League kids all that more depressing.

All I can say is I hope they can recover from the current variant of COVID. X-TDS is an extremely viral strain.
