As college students, we’re expected to be Democrats. We’re expected to have a liberal viewpoint on the social issues and not have much stake in economic issues at this point in our lives.
But liberal or conservative — a new video should have all ASU students seeing red.
In the video, Democratic Congressional candidate Krysten Sinema mocks ASU and its students. She refers to ASU as a party school, says students don’t show up to class prepared because they party too much. And worse, she says we’re so stupid we don’t realize that Wikipedia is not a legitimate citation.
Sinema attended ASU. She teaches at ASU. And this is what she thinks of us? Sounds more like she’s talking about the gum on the bottom of her shoe.
There are a lot of issues facing college students right now: Will we find jobs when we graduate? Can we pay off our student loans? Can we get student loans for graduate school?
We need to know the people in D.C. think enough of us to have our backs. But from the look of this video, Kyrsten Sinema will sell us out in a second. Do we really want to put our trust in someone who thinks we’re stupid?
