As trump sees the results of his failing response to COVID-19 and to civic unrest n the United States... and the increasing odds against his re-election, he resorts back to his fascist efforts to distract...
Um....he's the president...he has the ability to shape education initiatives in this country and has been able to do so for the last 3.5 years. He has a whole Department dedicated to Education and appointed the head of that department. Instead of complaining and threatening to take away money...why not try to tackle the problem and fix it (not that I'd want him specifically to do it). He continues to try and be an "outsider" when he's the freaking leader of the country. You aren't an outsider...you're the most insider guy there is.
He issues these proclamations like they're actually going to impress someone. _______ Wow, what a strong and powerful leader!
I took an undergrad social studies class at a top Chicago private university recently. Only once during that semester did prof bring up current political affairs - with some factual information print outs, she asked students to compare current events to the reading material of the day (we were reading Rousseau at the time). No indoctrination or steering of the conversation towards some political agenda during that class or any other. This is just populism and more of that qanon baseless idiocy. (Real Trump) Propaganda against (non existent college) propaganda. imho Considering your recent post about Trump's election committee suggesting to his followers that rally quotes are top "secret", it is not surprising I guess. More fear mongering. I am kinda glad that Lincoln project is using the same tactics against Trump.
The people I know that b**** about college turning kids left are either old or didn’t go to college. College made me a crazy libertarian. Trump made me a democrat.
Like literally nothing is going to come of this - nobody listens to this dipshit anymore in terms of policymaking. It makes his fellow old bald doods v. unhappy. Change is hard. Being ignored is hard. Welcome to the real world with the rest of us.
Change "education" and "universities" to "religion" and "churches" and see how that flies with his base.
Comical that the moron in chief is criticizing the institutions of higher learning. Sorry, but by ny objective measure, that’s where a crap ton of the smartest people in this country/world are concentrated. If you’re on the wrong side of top academia, the problem is likely you. I don’t really know why he cares though. A meaningful part of his base doesn’t particularly care what colleges are Saying or teaching. I guess people like Trump do not want the population at large to form educated opinions and vote accordingly, as it would make it harder to deceive, mislead and just cry “Fake News” at every criticism.
Of course, he doesn’t want Americans to form educated opinions. That would mean everyone would see right through the lies and bullshit he spews every day. Trump has only achieved his success in life by growing up with a silver spoon and conning people to get what he wants every step of the way. Hard to con anyone when they see right through your lies.
Trump is against people being indoctrinated with knowledge and critical thinking skills - both serious threats to his reelection.
What? I believe he shows this to show the abused nature of the man currently managing the world's largest bureaucracy. It's surreal and worthy of posting in my opinion.
One thing that people don't understand about college social science courses is that proffessors actively encourage reading and discussing opposing view points. A lot of those claim that colleges are liberal indoctrination camps claim they are merely because proffessors assign Marx readings.
Yes. Btw off topic but I feel like I lashed out in a over the top manner in that other topic about school choice. I can tell when you express sincere opinions such as your opinions on school choice. I can tell you came to them in a sincere manner so I shouldn't dismiss it so easily.
