Since school lunacy is hot today, here is an even more outrageous case of what I consider flat out abuse.

It is what is called an HBCU, a Historically Black College or University, and this is to say that it has always been a sub-par institution. The only claim to fame for Grambling has been that it consistently has a fine football team and a fantastic marching band. Otherwise, a Grambling education is just a waste of time. It is a happy way to while away several years in a non-competitive environment with no pressure to learn because none of the other students are going to be pushing to learn either. I say this as a former engineering faculty member from Louisiana Tech located in nearby Ruston, LA, and having had some contact with Grambling. Additionally, my daughter, who is an engineer, worked with a Grambling graduate who claimed to have an engineering degree; he could not even do the work of a draftsman. He was eventually fired after the firm made extensive efforts to bring him along. This is a further instance of propagating the sense of victimhood, rather than learning how to achieve success. In today's PC-society, this is thought to be a better way to advance than by honest effort and actual achievement. This is certainly what Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are telling black folks. It is a false teaching, but unfortunately it is being widely heard. Grambling State Univ. is a very poor excuse for an educational institution.

Blaming others for their problems dooms them to generation after generation of illegitimacy, crime and poverty. Rather than helping, government only makes the problems worse.
