đșđžđ Why college freshmen are heading south
This shift, it goes without saying, canât be explained by a single new pool, even one as magical as LSUâs lazy river. Even so, the new waterway does speak to a fundamental shift in how young people conceive of what college involves. The diploma, increasingly, is a product, and colleges sell experiences, credentials â and joy. And if that offers vast opportunities for âfootball schoolsâ like LSU, with their sororities and their laidback Southern charm, their more po-faced Northern cousins look set to suffer, especially if they continue to dismiss the white middle classes that used to fill their halls.
Another piece of the puzzle here is comparing how universities on either side of the Mason-Dixon Line have dealt with DEI. Right across the North, students were forced to listen to fatuous lectures on white supremacy and anti-racism. They were told to read Robin DiAngelo and Ta-Nehisi Coates. They were told to âdo betterâ and to âdo the workâ and to âbe a good allyâ. These students were told, in short, that they were the problem, no matter what they had individually done. The privilege they enjoyed was systemic, wicked, total. Talking with several of my former students, they describe âcultural bingoâ games designed to raise âawarenessâ. As one of my more thick-skinned former students put it: âStarting off the year being among the worst of the worst was pretty hilarious.â
Generally speaking, the South avoided such manias, even pushing back in law. In 2022, for instance, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning DEI across all public Florida colleges. Itâs a cultural fork in the road that endures to this day. While many prestigious Northern schools featured tarp-blue âtent citiesâ in support of Palestinians last year, their Southern counterparts were too busy with the college football season. Thatâs exactly the kind of âexperienceâ many kids dream of, with their circus-like atmosphere and kegs. Having the former, at any rate, codes weird and alienating â while the latter codes normal.

16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country.
According to the latest report on âmedical assistance in dyingâ (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024.
In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canadaâs MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there were fewer than five instances of assisted suicide.
There have been a total of 76,475 instances of euthanasia and assisted suicide since they were made legal in Canada in 2016.
Posters have appeared on the New York subway offering would-be parents the opportunity to "genetically optimise" their future baby.

Peter Thiel, who shares similar views to Musk on the topic, supported the start-up through his Founders Fund. â Article

The first successful IVF (test tube baby) occurred in 1978. The place, perhaps appropriately, considering English author Aldous Huxleyâs Brave New World, was England.
