As elite universities are over-run with mobs of modern-day brown-shirts praising mass slaughter, rape, and kidnapping, I would like to offer a variant on William F. Buckley’s quip that he “would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty.” I would rather be ruled by Chad Kroeger, JT Parr, and their crew than the graduates of elite universities.
For a long time, a dozen highly selective universities prepared a large proportion of the people who held powerful positions in government, business, and culture. That era is coming to an end. The increasingly non-meritorious selection of students for those universities, the declining quality of the research and teaching at those institutions, and their failure to shape the moral character of their students in preparation for assuming leadership positions in society is destroying the brand reputations of these universities. It won’t happen overnight, but expect to see a lot more people from state universities in mid-America in these positions of power and a lot fewer from the Ivies.
The students active in Greek life who cheer on the football team after getting a good buzz at the tailgate with their future spouse are much better qualified to run the world than are majors in decolonial queer studies who march around campus shouting, “Intifada!” The grown-ups in responsible institutions are waking up to this reality.
That’s why we need more role models like Chad and JT to teach young people about how to chill with your bros. In case you are not familiar with Chad and JT, they take advantage of the public comment sessions that virtually all local governments offer to express their views. Their public comments have a lot more wisdom to offer than the average American Studies or Sociology class.
In one of their early efforts, Chad and JT urged the City Council of LA not to ban house parties. Chad testified to “stop this future atroxity.”
In this more recent testimony, Chad and JT reject the despair of the “pessimizers” and offer a plan for how the Casa de la Gente can bounce back. Taylor Swift should date the Speaker of the House.
And in this classic, Chad and JT, along with JT’s mom, ask the City of Laguna Beach to create a Shmole Relocation Program to boke the shmole in their crew. They explain their jargon in this video better than the average ethnic studies professor.
Because Chad and JT are showing the way for young people to take back the country from pampered radicals, I nominate them again for the Al Copeland Humanitarian Award.
