Graduation ceremonies used to celebrate hard work and achievement. Now they’ve become platforms for radical politics and embarrassing stunts. While most students just want to walk the stage, activists hijack these events to push divisive agendas that divide Americans instead of uniting them.
Liberal colleges preach “anti-racism” while failing Black students daily. Schools like UNC claim they’ve achieved “color blindness” by deleting diversity courses — but students see through the empty slogans. Woke administrators care more about sounding virtuous than fixing real problems like skyrocketing tuition or unsafe campuses.
California’s ethnic studies chaos shows where this leads. Lawmakers waste time fighting over political coursework while students suffer. Taxpayer money gets blown on courses that teach kids to hate America instead of math skills that build futures. Parents are right to demand schools focus on basics, not propaganda.
Ohio’s bold move to ban DEI bureaucracies proves common sense is rising. These programs don’t help students — they create grievance armies and punish anyone who questions far-left dogma. Colleges should promote excellence, not breed resentment between races.
Look at the stats: Black students thrive at HBCUs without woke nonsense. These schools focus on real education, not indoctrination. Yet liberals want to defund them while pushing Critical Race Theory in mainstream colleges. It’s clear which approach actually helps kids succeed.
Graduation meltdowns aren’t accidents — they’re what happens when schools prioritize activism over achievement. Students spend years drowning in debt only to get degrees in “social justice” instead of useful skills. No wonder employers can’t find workers who can think straight.
Project 2025’s plan to dismantle the education bureaucracy gives hope. Let local communities control schools again. Stop forcing teachers to parrot radical ideologies. Restore pride in American values so graduations celebrate real success, not temper tantrums against tradition.
Hardworking families want their kids to graduate ready for the real world. They’re tired of lectures about “white privilege” and “systemic racism.” It’s time to take back our schools from elitist crybullies and let the next generation chase the American Dream — no cringe required.
