Unfit to Print: THE SCIENCE OF GRIEVANCE
You can't answer hard questions about society when you've already determined the answer is oppression
Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
I took two Sociology classes in college. The left-wing bias wasn’t surprising. But a new WSJ article exposes just how deep the rot is.
THE SCIENCE OF GRIEVANCE
Sociology as a discipline is supposed to help us explain society. Now it just wants to complain about it.
The field has become less interested in asking why people behave the way they do than in assigning blame for the answer.
I had the misfortune of taking “Social Inequality” at Georgetown. I did it because friends told me it was easy. And it was in the ways that matter to a student trying to graduate.
According to the New York Times, the median family income of a student at Georgetown is $229,100, and 74% of students come from the top 20 percent of households in America.
I was part of the roughly 12% of Hoyas who were first-generation college students. The university doesn’t track what percent of students come from blue-collar backgrounds, but my experience suggested the number wasn’t very high.
As I sat in class just a few rows away from a governor’s daughter, I imagined I was something of an expert on the course subject matter.
Apparently not.
