America Cannot Achieve Unity When The Leftists Influencing The Media Have No Clue What Is Truly Going On

Why is it that informed voices are getting drowned out by a generation of apathetic students?

College students all across the country are so willing to accept everyone, except when it comes to those who support President Trump and the right-wing politics.

As a Republican political science major on a college campus, I have to have many facts to back up my beliefs. However, any other college student can disagree with President Trump and never be questioned for their opinion or asked to provide factual reasoning. Why is this? These same people protest in support of various liberal causes: March for Our Lives, Women's March on Washington, March for Life. Do they even know what the law says about gun control? Or about the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?

Campus Reform reporter Cabot Phillips captures the ignorance of the average American college student throughout various videos and news clips.

In the most recent video, Phillips asked college students at New York University their opinion about President Trump's Supreme Court Justice nomination. At the time of this video, Judge Brett Kavanaugh had not been nominated for this honor. Fox News' Fox and Friends hosted Cabot Phillips to discuss this video.

Another video posted on Campus Reform questions students about President Trump's State of the Union address. Student after student attacked the president and his remarks. However, the video was recorded one week prior to the address!

Another video shows college students reacting to President Trump sending troops to the Mexican border. The students were then told that President Obama did the same thing. Most of the students in the videos were clueless and supported President Obama, but gave reasons why they disagree with President Trump doing the exact same thing.

According to census.gov, in the 2016 election, the percent of people ages 18-29 that voted was 46.1%. The number of voters age 65 and older was 70.9%.

Yet somehow these college students, who are clearly ignorant, misinformed, and apathetic, are controlling the media. Complaining about families being separated at the border, gun control, and every single thing President Trump does. How can the left back this agenda when their ignorance has been proven time and time again? How can the left shut out veteran's voices and hard working adults with life experience in exchange for college students?

I am in no way saying that college students should not have a voice in government, because they definitely should! I am very thankful for the freedom to express my opinions. However, young adults should have facts to back up their beliefs before they make harsh comments degrading President Trump and the Republican Party.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
