In response to cp
The GOP does not hate education, but they push their followers to hate or mistrust education.
Even on this forum someone once said common sense is better than an education. I don't think so, Tim.
I think professors are people too. They come in all races, although more and more they are Chinese and Indian, they are all religions, they are from all political leanings, some are good, some not as good and some are simply amazing.
Our American University's are thought to be the best in the world and a US education is globally worth its weight in gold 10 times over.
The GOP idea of liberal university indoctrination is a way to get people to not trust science, and data collected by scientists. Its a way to denounce information brought by educated people. But try and find one leading politician or one business leader that does not have a college degree, unless they dropped out to start companies like Dell, Facebook or Microsoft.
Even Fox News has a program called "the Education Scam." Where they try and tell kids an education is a waste of money... "just look at Bill Gates," they say. Really, Bill Gate's as the poster child for no college? Talking about leaving out part of the story.
80% of the job openings today are for college degree jobs, 80% of those unemployed don't have any college. It's just common sense that college is the future of employment opportunities.
Who is Goldman Sach's hiring, or Intel, or Facebook or Google or who was Bill Gates hiring? I would bet its young people from all over the world with one or more college degrees.
If CEO's increased their pay at the same rate as Average Americans
their pay would average $1,384,890 not $10,621,000 |
