Majority Of Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad For The U.S., Poll Shows

[packman]

"More than half of the Republicans surveyed for a Pew Research Center poll released Monday say colleges and universities are hurting the country, a drastic shift from how the same group viewed such institutions two years ago."

AND THE FLIP SIDE OF SAME ARTICLE--

"The vast majority Democrats, meanwhile, say colleges are helping the nation: 72 percent say they think higher education is having a positive effect, versus 19 percent who say such institutions are hurting the country. "


Gee-Wonder what's been going on for the past two years or so (He asks, but fully knowing the answer)?

1. How is this different from Islamists?

Oh that's right, these are Christians, therefore it's o.k......

2. What???

Your comparison escapes me. Post was about colleges and how Rep/Dem's view them.

I do believe you had to travel far and wide to come up with that statement about Islamists and Christians.

3. There's a reason for that

And it's not just the rampant anti-reality anti-intellectualism in the GOP.

The snowflake movement on college campuses gets relentless play in conservative entertainment. Everyday they run screaming headlines about random entitled college snowflakes throwing tantrums over "safe spaces" and demanding that speakers be banned and so forth.

As with so much in conservative entertainment, the editors are exploiting this stuff for cheap clickbait, but the hate herd take it seriously and form their opinions about the world based on it.
