The conservative students at Davidson did a hilarious and clever experiment. They asked students to sign a petition in the interest of “fairness” that would take some of the GPA from the higher scoring students and give to the lower scoring students. Unsurprisingly, the students were not interested in that. They said it wasn’t fair and it wouldn’t help the lower-performing students anyway.

According to The College Fix, the students were furious when they realized they’d been tricked into NOT supporting socialism:

But after students discovered later the petition was a hoax played on them by conservative students in an attempt to illustrate the unfairness of wealth distribution, they hastily called a teach-in at the campus union at which they denounced the effort and vented their frustration.

Some students said the fake petition made them struggle with feelings that they do not belong at Davidson, while others aggressively attacked the video, calling it “oppressive,” “illegally filmed,” and “inflammatory bullsh*t,” according to a video of the April 27 teach-in on Facebook.

Multiple students at the teach-in also made comments supporting both income redistribution and GPA redistribution, saying “life wasn’t always fair” and it’s “the right thing to do.” Others suggested that not forcibly redistributing income would give rich people the power to decide who lives and dies based off their charitable donation whims.

As an article Truth Revolt c:

The problem with college-induced socialist tendencies is that they rarely can survive in the real world or the scrutiny of common sense. The YAF at Davidson did a great job at revealing that these college students really aren’t as socialist as their professors are trying to make them.

Watch their clever petition below.
