Rock Chalk Fight For Witches Rights And Fading American Middle-Class

Context . . .

"Overall confidence in the value of a college degree declined in 2023 while confidence in the value of job training and professional licensing programs went up."

That's not a completely beneficial trend as some boomers would have us believe . . . Fewer people finding opportunity in college basically means that THE AMERICAN MIDDLE-CLASS CONTINUES TO DISAPPEAR . . . And our betters need more manual labor workers to cater to their whims without having to learn Spanish. 

There are only so many 6 figure "jobs" wherein writing clever e-mails is the only thing vaguely resembling a work product . . . With no college, chances of getting one of these prize gigs is nearly zilch whilst even higher-paying manual labor typically requires sacrificing physical health for money. Like it or not, slugging out on a keyboard is a better play for the long term for those with any understanding of repetitive stress injury.

Here's a University life tidbit that tacitly encourages locals to forsake the pursuit of knowledge and spend their career doing gig work for Karen and her brats . . . Check-it:

Jane Barnette, an associate professor of theater at the University of Kansas, allows that green skin is still OK, (Oz fans can sigh in relief) but she told me that real-world witches should have a role in making films and plays about witches so that messages affirming witchery can be inserted in entertainment to make real-world witches who are watching feel better about themselves. That’s in much the same way that LGBTQ portrayals did so in the years before queer civil rights took hold. Indeed, she argues, the rise of Christian nationalism that threatens both makes the cause ever so urgent.

But in a world where kids’ time and attention, as well as the taxpayer dollars that support the professor’s school, are limited, I doubt that many Kansans wish KU would address the “minoritized” situation witches find themselves in socially, dubbed by some as the “broom closet.”
