Hillary Clinton's 'Situation Room' class is a giant scam, student reveals

Hillary Clinton runs an “inside situation room” class that has at least 1,200 students fill out her resumes and very little else as her questions go unanswered.

One “student” who enrolled in Hillary Clinton's “Inside the Situation Room” course at Columbia University's School of Public and International Affairs said it was less about teaching than about making a “production “.

The course took place in September and a student named Cate Twining-Ward gave a scathing assessment of it that was not flattering to Hillary Clinton.

“From my aisle seat, I was well positioned to access the conference microphone. Beyond that was Hillary Clinton. It's a shame I only got to ask her one question in the entire semester I spent in her course.” wrote Twining-Ward a Huff-Post.

“Last fall I heard that Clinton would be teaching a class at Columbia University's School of Public and International Affairs. I didn't hesitate to apply, and 1,200 other students,” he noted.

The student felt that Clinton's depth of political experience would benefit his goals. Not so much.

“My application essays were passionate. I was confident that Clinton's five decades of public service would enrich my own leadership ambitions. I had imagined that spending two hours a week with a former senator, secretary of state , first lady and presidential candidate would encourage me in new ways. Unfortunately, my idealistic hopes got the best of me,” the student wrote.

“On my first day, I expected to walk into a classroom with 30 other students, which would be typical of classes in my program. Instead, I approached a swarm of several hundred. Next to them was a sea of ​​cameras belonging to journalists from different major media. Just to his right, I saw Secret Service personnel whispering into their radios. It was only 11.30am – our conference didn't start until 2.10pm,” Twining-Ward explained.

The experience left the student disillusioned and certainly disappointed.

“Every Wednesday for 12 consecutive weeks, I sacrificed my lunch break to stand in line with 350 students equally eager for a chance at a front-row seat. In the third week of class, I heard a fellow class who said he felt like he was “waiting for a ticket to a celebrity concert.” He mused, “I wonder if I'll be able to sleep here tonight so I can get up in front and pop my question tomorrow,” he recalled what was he thinking

“On our first day of class, after getting past the Secret Service agents, we settled in for two long-awaited hours with the former presidential candidate. But class ended abruptly half an hour early, and he continued each week. Only a handful of students had time to ask the prepared questions,” Twining-Ward said.

He compared the class to an audience watching a late-night talk show. He allegedly encouraged a positive response to Clinton, but discouraged students from asking questions.

“Week after week, hour-long lines wrapped around the classroom lobby as students aggressively strategized to secure seats near the microphone for what was known as the 'Hunger Games Q&A.' .Subjecting ourselves to this wait was inevitable if we hoped to ask a single question during the semester,” he stated.

Clinton was absent twice during the course without explanation. As more and more students did not ask questions when she was there, many attendees became outraged.

“Bitterness in the classroom grew as the war in the Middle East unfolded. Clinton faced walkouts, sit-ins and, on several occasions, strong vocal backlash in response to her often bland answers to questions related to the conflict,” Twining-Ward said.

“When several dozen students planned a mid-conference walkout in protest of Columbia's response to campus doxxing incidents, Yarhi-Milo responded by voicing their shared frustrations. One student yelled, “So get better !”, he wrote.

Despite all that, the student still praised Clinton and held her blameless.

“I do not blame Clinton for these problems. Her experience in the situation room has enriched the academic experience of many SIPA students. Perhaps the most exciting moments were thanks to the many guests who shared the stage with Clinton during the semester, among them Peter Clement, former deputy director of the CIA, and David Miliband, former foreign secretary of the UK Parliament,” he commented.

Twining-Ward got to ask Clinton her question and got an answer, unlike others in the class. Not all attendees were happy with the course and it made many question the university's priorities.

For some, attending the circus was simply to pad their resume.

“Just before our final lesson of the semester, I asked several of my classmates if they would recommend the course to other students. Their responses were mixed. One particularly positive student said, “It's not about what I've learned, it's about the fact that I can put a class taught by Hillary Clinton on my resume… That's the value. But I could have learned everything just by reading her memoir ” the student wrote.
