Wasting money is generally a bad idea. I'd agree with Republicans if they did cut out the worthless schooling.

it's more of a systemic problem with democracy as a whole, it's easier the control the less well educated the citizens are and so the education system is eroded to the benefit of those in power.
but i have many grievances with democracy and would like to see it done away with
i don't want to live with a government composed of people chosen by popular vote anymore than i want to ride in a cruise ship whose design was determined by polling everyone who might potentially ride it as opposed to qualified engineers only.

people are STUPID

democracy would be viable if this weren't the case.

Education increases liberal attitudes. If more people got an education, less people would vote Republican. They have to make sure to protect their bottom line by keeping as many people ignorant as possible.

ding ding ding..

there is something political going on though, being reflected on campuses.
A total empowerment of freedom of speech, it is cool to be hateful, even got a president elected. The actual game being played is getting fierce reactions to establish a brand to be important. -> the media talking about it. What is a better target to establish your freedom of speech argument in an environment that chooses its speech based on relevance of scientific importance. It's an instant political hit, especially because you can statistically label them as liberals.

I'd personally not let political speakers preach based on the insignificant scientific content of the debate they are presenting. Milo for instance is part of a quarter of the ban on political speakers in the US, he has become a rockstar, based on it being cool to spread hated comment within the law. I'll call this the Trump effect. Yet his argument is simply insignificant for studies ppl are taking part in. His role on being banned is purely political to establish his rockstar free speech identity.

The funny thing about Milo is that he is labeled as an intellectual without being one. Such an imposter. Kind of a Judas too.

He's a politician, riding the wave of hatred. There is no room for him on a campus apart from speaking to political studies.

They also occasionally enshrine being against critical thinking, for the specific reason that it makes you challenge authority.

his best ability is public speaking, he's far better than most people at this. To be clear I don't follow or care about milo.

not true overall (I can agree that you can say people who attend college are more likely on average to vote democrat) and the are plenty of low educated or low IQ people that vote democrat and plenty of highly educated and high IQ people that vote republican.

I have yet to realize the impact of that quote within a discourse of an IQ/gene prioritizing audience..
Nice one.

Sitting in a liberal college for 10 years =/= educated
