The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

This is quite a read from Celeste Davis. It helps explain one key reason why Republicans are so intent on devaluing higher ed: men flee when there are too many girls.
The tipping point Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens. Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee! It’s a slippery slope. When the number of women hits 60% the men who are there make a swift exit and other men stop joining. Morty Schapiro, economist and former president of Northwestern University has noticed this trend when studying college enrollment numbers across universities: “There’s a cliff you fall off once you become 60/40 female/male. It then becomes exponentially more difficult to recruit men.” Now we’ve reached that 60% point of no return for colleges.
