Socialism in the Classroom
A recent survey of Americans indicates that the younger you are, the more the “fairness” of socialism appeals. In fact, those under 30
lean strongly toward socialism and socialistic ideas. Hope you enjoy this simple analogy.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire
class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class
on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
