Our universities are being overrun with America hating liberals who are teaching all of our children to hate America too. But they even go a step further by also hating God, religion and any outward show of patriotism or love of country. That is what our universities are fostering and what the future holds for our country if these insane liberals are not stopped right now!

Andrew Gillin, of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, prefaced his remarks by pointing out that about 40% of young college graduates are working jobs that do not a require a college degree.

Several months ago I was invited to my local U to take a tour of the new ivory towers they built with tobacco money and ever-skyrocketing tuition. I was in the new "knowledge center" (library) surveying the vast wasteland of future french fry chefs and said to my escort, "half these people have no business even being here". I was mildly shocked when she agreed with me.

Good Daniel Allen article. It’s heresy to question the “logic” of sending every 18 year old to university. Financial aid for sending perfectly able teens to America-bashing indoctrination centers? Where remedial classes gobble up funds. Where professors ridicule the hard working middle class parents who give their little darlings their gold Mastercard? It’s madness. You send your kids to be taught to hate you, with your money and taxpayers’ money.

Daniel explains clearly why it’s another big government boondoggle, morally and financially un-sustainable.

Read the article, send your kids to a trade school or community college to see if they really WANT to LEARN, and pay for it yourself.

I agree with this article completely.

However, there is one speaker cited who said that government loans for students should be stopped. There I disagree. A student who is highly intelligent and works hard for good grades, but comes from a middle-class home w/o the price of a college education, should be given a loan. He or she is the one who will pay back the loan, and with those good qualities will not fail the make the repayment.

And, no, I have no children looking for a government loan.

Another thought: My husband had an employee who was intellectually gifted and wanted to go to med school. He lost out to lower scoring WYMEN.
