I worked through college.
I kind of roll my eyes at people who moan about how their parents didn’t help them with college. Mine didn’t either, and it’s one of the best things they could have done for me. Many of my peers who had everything paid for didn’t go to class, got majors in bullcrap like Feminist B*tching and Race Baiting (not exactly, but they might as well have) and were (and continue to be) entitled little f*cks.
Make your kids GET A JOB. Seriously. You have no room to talk about “entitled” youngsters if you are complicit in MAKING THEM THAT WAY.
Remember… someone RAISED these kids to be as useless as they are. Are you doing everything you can to fight that? Or are you turning your kid into an entitled condom-snorter, too?
Anyway… I did it all. I worked for the Residence Halls, I edited a school paper, I tutored, I put up posters, I passed out flyers, I managed a custom t-shirt shop, I did marketing for a theater company, I recruited for my grad program, and I applied for EACH AND EVERY scholarship I could find. Seriously, I wrote scholarship essays CONSTANTLY.
I worked HARD to pay for college.
Never, not ONCE, did I think PROMOTING ABORTION was a viable “pay for college” option… because what in the WORLD?! HOW IS THAT A JOB?! WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS?!
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County Women’s Center is hiring students to develop educational programming on issues like “body image” and “reproductive justice,” a progressive euphemism for abortion rights.
The “Women’s Center Student Staff Position” will pay selected students at least $9.25 an hour to write blogs posts, serve as an ambassador of the Women’s Center at resource fairs, and conduct research that would help the Women’s Center better serve students.
$9.25 for talking about killing babies. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!
Students’ primary task, however, would be to facilitate workshops on issues that impact “women and/or marginalized groups,” such as “reproductive health and justice; body image…[and] LGBTQ issues” according to the internship application.
Though hirees will also be involved in tasks such as greeting visitors, the job description ultimately frames the position as an excellent opportunity for those “interested in women’s, gender, and social justice issues” who want to “make campus-wide change.”

According to the Women’s Center website, students selected for the staff positions will be required to attend a two-hour training on May 12, followed by a full-day training in August.
As at other schools, the UMBC Women’s Center does offer a few tangible resources, but its mission statement notes that its work is ultimately in service of advancing “gender equity from an intersectional feminist perspective.”
WONDERFUL. This is wonderful. Want to know why the cost of college is SKYROCKETING? BECAUSE THEY’RE PAYING FOR CRAP LIKE THIS.
Encouraging students to blog is one way the center promotes feminism. UMBC students have previously written on issues such as “Fatness. Fitness. Feminism” and “Feminist Friendships,” though it’s unclear whether the students were paid for those submissions.
The most recent student blog post, published March 27, was written by a student who argues that compliments from other women on her makeup are actually “makeup microaggressions” because women are socialized to perpetuate “internalized sexism.”
“These microaggressions between women were essentially internalized sexism caused by heterosexist patriarchy,” asserts Samiksha Manjani. “Under patriarchal norms, women’s value is dependent on their attractiveness to men.”
And how is this all funded?
Well… the exorbitant tuitions people like me worked their ASSES off to pay… and YOUR taxes. That’s how.
As Campus Reform has reported, other taxpayer funded universities—such as the University of Arizona, the University of California, Los Angeles, and Washington State University—all currently offer social justice-minded students similar employment opportunities.
Campus Reform reached out to UMBC to ask how this student employment position is funded, but the school declined to answer.
Good LORD.
