Speaking of "good lord" how about this NEXT bit of Republican stupidity?: Religious Right activist and former Colorado state legislator Gordon Klingenschmitt declared on his “Pray In Jesus Name” program last week that Americans would not need healthcare if this nation would simply stop funding Planned Parenthood because, if we do so, “God will heal your diseases.” http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/...parenthood-because-god-will-heal-all-disease/
I view it as highway robbery. It is an huge debt that allows one to get a job to make someone else rich. Scholarships are the only way to get through it, I tell my kids.
The two choices were "Positive effect" or "Negative effect". If you think that a few racial incidents override all the good that higher education contributes to this country then YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID.
Hard skills are in demand and an afterthought. We need more trade skills and less women studies, political studies, etc. Even "tech" degress dont really teach kids anythingg these days.
When someone mentions Trump i think that the next time i turn to tigerfan, Rex will have started a new thread.
Nail, meet hammer.....right on the head. As my daughter and I research colleges that accommodate her desired major, it is shocking how many DON'T offer it and yet almost every facking one offers gender studies, politics, philosophy, socialism, crap. It's unreal. Lip service is when libs say they want more women in STEM fields but the gubment under Boobama gave money hand over fist to liberal arts schools who handed out degrees in homosexuality appreciation. Exactly. Every day I question whether many of these so called bastions of upper education even deserve my child. I can say without hesitation that if offered a full ride to Harvard, the answer would be an emphatic "no".
