Tennessee lawmaker Kerry Roberts calls for removal of higher education | TribLIVE.com
NASHVILLE — A Republican Tennessee lawmaker says he supports getting rid of higher education because he argues it would cut off the “liberal breeding ground.”



They should remove it , this has been nothing but a Gov. scam from day one.

Education is the greatest enemy of modern American conservatism. So not surprised.

Actually, right now it is the greatest enemy of freedom. Brainwashed kids are great for tyrannical governments, but struggle in free societies.

And uneducated people struggle in every society.

I agree. It's a shame that higher education is producing uneducated drones. Vocational training leads to better paying jobs without a huge debt load and no indoctrination.

I agree that there are many college graduates without a clue. And I agree that college campuses are hotbeds of liberalism. College kids tend to be idealists.

But the answer is certainly not closing higher education.

It would make sense to check the job market before starting a higher education course in some fields, but to imply vocational training is a good replacement for engineers, doctors, and scientists is just childish.

Yeah, because having no doctors, no engineers, no teachers, and no lawyers will make us such a great country, right?

It always amazes me when elected officials fear elections.

those are just trade schools

Trade schools? YOu think doctors, teacher and engineers are going to trade schools? Okey dokey

Look, I think trade schools are a great option. But to claim that high education should be closed because there are too many liberals is laughable.

A young neighbor of mine was going to college, racking up debt, and he asked my advice. I suggested a vocational school.

He found one that interested him, paid the tuition with a loan. And immediately upon graduation had a job offer of 24 an hour with benefits.

He took that job, and after one month, once they saw he was good, he was bumped up to 28 an hour.

Yes, there is a need for engineers, but not everyone is suited to that profession.

Many kids go to college, who shouldn't.

You all like to point to Germany and it's free college, but you ignore the fact that they only allow a small number of people into college.

I agree that closing it is a bridge too far, but academia needs to be reigned in. Too much indoctrination, not enough education.

But you said that doctors, engineers, teachers and lawyers are just trade school grads?

When higher education is churning out degrees that have no value, yes, the discussion needs to take place.

I see kids all over Reno working jobs that will never pay enough to pay off their student debt.

That is criminal. Far better for those degrees to have never been created.

Oh, do you know anyone just going to medical school or law school?

Or do they earn a degree, with an education in a variety of subjects, before entering those "trade schools". And no, I do not think they are trade schools. Just because they focus on one area does not make them trade schools.

And they may never work in the area of their degree. I have a degree in secondary ed/comprehensive sciences. Other than student teaching, I never worked in my field. But I have gotten promotions because I have a degree.
