    Default Why do conservatives bash education? GOP leaders went to elite universities.

    Trump brags about going to the University of Pennsylvania.

    DeSantis went to Yale and Harvard.

    The irony is amazing. Am I missing something?

    Romney complained we should not elect a President with an Ivy League graduate degree, somehow forgetting he has two Ivy League graduate degrees.

    It gets silly after a while.
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
    Paul Begala, "Politics is show business for ugly people."
    Stephen Colbert, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."

    Bitch, I have vastly more education than you. No one is saying higher education is unnecessary.

    I say that underwater basket weaving majors like "ethnic studies" are a scam meant to steal money from the public through student loans intended to be defaulted on. But that is demonstrable fact. Liberal Arts was once the domain of rich girls who needed to speak well in society parties, is outdated and has utterly no value now. But again - this is just fact. Real education is extremely important.

    Still, taking a person like you, with an IQ of what, 82, maybe, and putting you in a University is a waste, a means by which the educational industrial complex raids the public treasury.

    Higher education for those with higher intelligence is extremely important.

    Rigorous entrance exams with NO modifiers for race, gender, sexual preference, or loyalty to Marxism are vital to a valid system of education. Exams and grading purely on merit - and society is better for an educated population.

    THAT is not what we currently have.

    You have no basis to discuss education.

    Well handjob, its look like that wonderful education of yours greatly qualifies you to spend your days lying on a message board.

    Cause education is largely defenseless, an easy scapegoat, and because is it so vast, effecting everyone, it is easy to cherry pick to generalize a campaign

    And that's where this is. Many people, and not just Conservatives, argue that much of what passes today as "Education" is utter bullshit and irrelevant. We could start with sex education in public schools. It's not like people didn't know how to fuck before there was a class in school on it...

    There are all sorts of university / college level classes that are irrelevant or a waste of time.

    It has in the past been pretty constant that only about a third of the population--AT MOST--were university / college material. For the rest, you have maybe another third that could be trained and educated in a truly skilled profession where they didn't need a college degree, with the last third being little more than helper monkeys (like floridafan). The first two groups are not completely interchangeable either. There are people that are good at theory but terrible at actual practice, and the converse.

    That third group, the helper monkeys, are only good at being told what to do to accomplish some immediate and simple task while at a minimum intermittently supervised to keep them at it.

    Oh, were you trying to write "because education," but are too ignorant?

    and because is it so vast, effecting everyone, it is easy to cherry pick to generalize a campaign
    "Affecting," sploogy. Cause and effect - and you get them both wrong - drugs affected your brain development resulting in the state you find yourself in.

    Quick, tell DeSantis his history major was a completely useless rich girls' major.

    You're missing virtually everything.. Nobody bashes education, its actually the lack of education being provided. From continuingly falling levels of proficiency to outright propaganda, the education systems are not getting the job done. Granted that most of the problems in grade school are lack of parenting but thats no excuse to advance failing students.
