    Default Why do conservatives bash education?

    Trump said he loved the uneducated.

    Trump was dead serious.

    Why do radical Leftists want to outright destroy it? Seems to me Conservatives bash the movement Left in education while the movement Left is trying to make education as useless as possible and turn out not well-rounded and educated individuals but rather a bunch of semi-literate, unthinking, radical revolutionaries ready to riot in the streets for whatever cause de jour the Leftist leadership comes up with.

    Uneducated people are easier to manipulate.

    Okay, my thread, so I will be polite. I think you're being hyperbolic with the "radical revolutionaries ready to riot in the streets."

    People who blame teachers just were bad students.

    Well there's going to be crap people in any group. But overall, educated people are smarter and less likely to be brainwashed by propaganda. Of course it still happens, but you have a better chance of not being manipulated if you're educated.

    Good point. Trump went to an Ivy League school and he is "crap people."

    To be fair, he definitely cheated a lot to get through.

    Dear Class: My name is Dr. Mengele. I will be your professor in Indoctrination 101. Included in the course outline are the following items: 1) words that you should not use; 2) thoughts that you should not have; 3) positions that you should not espouse; 4) beliefs that you should not hold. Otherwise, I truly want you to fully express yourselves because I support freedom of speech. But of course, if you violate items 1 through 4, I will be forced to report you to the administration. So yes to free speech but no to wrong speech.

    [The reality across universities.]

    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
