Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List, providing a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall.

The Beloit College Mindset List, which this year is as old as the entering students themselves, is created by Ron Nief, Emeritus Director of Public Affairs; Tom McBride, Emeritus Professor of English; and Charles Westerberg. Additional items on the list as well as commentaries and guides are found
here and at www.themindsetlist.com Regular updates and discussions are on Facebook and Twitter.

See the Mindset List for the Class of 2019

Previous lists are available online dating back to the Class of 2002.

Among the 50 entries I found it interesting that, from their perspective, there's always been Google, South Park, and mass-produced hybrid vehicles. What is/are your favorite(s) and why? What did they leave out?

    9/11 never happened, or was an inside job if it did.
    Al-Qaeda was made up by the US government.
    The Muslim Brotherhood does not exist. It is a hate crime to mention its name.
    Jews are foreign invaders in Palestine and have no history there.
    Islamic jihad is the resistance to American aggression.
    Racism is being white. All whites are racist. Nonwhites cannot be racist.
    Sexism is being male. All men are sexist. Women cannot be sexist.
    Jews are white and have never suffered from racism.
    Jews are the historic perpetrators of racism.
    Jews established the international slave trade. There was no slavery before Jews brought blacks to America.
    Jews made up the Holocaust to shame the UN into giving them an Arab country that had no history of Jewish, Turkish, Syrian, or Christian ties.

    This seems to be what the younger set believes. Try to speak otherwise on any popular webforum and you will be banned as a conservative troll.
