Why are conservatives against higher education?

Joel Feagler: They aren't - quite the contrary.

Michal Semple: What conservative ever said that

Aron Ramu: they like 'em dumb and dumber

Tracy Huesso: No not at all my degrees depended on it. I could have done without the indoctrination attempts to the leftist ideology which were worth nothing to me.

Emilie Santmyer: Many conservatives are against higher education because they do not like liberal political agenda most colleges provide.But it looks to me like the congressional democrats are against higher education.Democrats own and control 100% of higher education and yet the tuition costs are sky high with no end in site.College Costs Out Of Controlhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/steveodland/2012/03/2......Show more

Linwood Mccory: The better educated you are, the more liberal you are likely to be. It's that simple.Besides, they resent the big words educated people use. It's hard to argue with someone you can't understand.

Zelma Casebie! r: You've got it twisted. Higher education is against Conservatives.

Janean Guz: One of the components of education is critical thinking, which is the antithesis of conservative dogma

Long Woltjer: They aren't?

Olen Penhallurick: Because it rationalizes your irrational ideals. Republicans are poor and ignorant and you love taking care of the poor and ignorant. Sounds like a win for ya, you are winning why not just walk away?Would you like to discuss liberal indoctrination efforts in schools? The similarity to Hitler's efforts to coerce the young? Discuss the College videos people like Steven Crowder has shared with us on youtube maybe, man oh man the ignorance? Like to discuss the dumb people with higher educations and their degrees going to waste? Discuss the massive debt from higher education? Many times I've had to ask schools to just teach my kids some curriculum already. Many high school kids can't make change for a dollar. Can't figure out a 1/2 of ! a cup when all they have is 1/4 measuring cup. Clueless on his! tory, generally wrong even. But gosh darn diggidy here is your diploma. When you are done yankin yourself let's talk about how far off from an actual education schools are. One thing my kids did learn is not to share their opinion if it differs form the indoctrination because they will be treated badly. Liberal contempt for those who see differently reminds me of the bible thumpers years ago or Muslim extremists. Liberals are dead wrong deciding that the lower class of America does not need jobs and just supporting storing them in failed cities on welfare. We need to reopen midwest and Detroit factories and let these people work for a living. NOT spit on them and call them stupid. People without a degree are still people. Let's just roll with Conservatives are against higher education. Trump is crazy. And everything is fine. Never mind self DEFENSE shooting are 2,200 percent above the national average in Liberal Detroit where Liberals have done a good job restricting guns! to create utopia. If Trump brings jobs back to Detroit, to America perhaps liberals are goners. Perhaps work on yourself instead of rejoicing that Conservatives don't like school?...Show more

Rayford Latz: They are only against higher education for you, not other rich.

Seema Hosfeld: With higher education, students are required to do more research on their own, where up through high school most education can be taught as "this is the right answer" because it is easier to grade multiple choice.In college, you have to write papers and do your own research, where you figure out what is right or wrong for YOU, not for someone else.Being liberal means being open minded to other opinions. Being conservative means believing what someone else tells you.In college, you have to look at other opinions and base yours on your own research....Show more
