Harming America Through Higher Education

UNIVERSITIES, AS A RULE, lean left. Students and faculty have a progressive majority. The millennial generation, including those currently in college, is, according to surveys, heavily liberal in general, and not particularly religious. College students throughout American history, and indeed young people in general, tend to be idealistic and progressive. Why? Either universities attract intelligent people, and intelligent people tend to be progressive, or, universities attract ivory tower airheads who are divorced from reality, and therefore liberal. Take your pick. Maybe there is a vast left wing conspiracy to keep conservatism off college campuses in America. Hint; one of these theories is much better than the others. Because of all this academic liberalism, conservatives tend to not like America's public schools and system of higher education. All those places, for one thing, do not teach that America is entirely a shining city on a hill, without serious flaws of any sort, and that, in conservative circles, is blasphemy. In fact, fifty eight percent of republicans say they believe that higher education in America does more harm than good. Yes, you read correctly. More harm than good. If you've ever wondered if republicans tend to be crazy, there's your answer. All those university educated scientists, doctors, teachers out there, doing more harm than good. And all because on the campus of the colleges which educated these professionals, the majority ideology is liberalism. Now that's true hatred, pure and simple. The all consuming hatred on the part of America's conservatives, for America's liberals. Damn those tree hugging, climate changing, politically correct pro gay pro trans gender libs! No wonder that America is polarized.
