You're kidding, right? The Department of Education is useless and a waste of federal dollars and always has been. American kids are the most ignorant kids in the world and the rest of the world knows this. Too many don't know basic geography or history.
I'm sorry but the DoE hasn't accomplished a damn thing since its inception. Our rankings have steadily declined throughout the whole of the department's existence.
Not kidding. You seem to believe powerful people are entitled to use their influence to tyrannically disparage and malign institutions of higher education because you believe they are a waste of taxpayer money and/or do not produce results up to your personal standards. The department of education is not an island or an isolated entity from these institutions. These institutions depend on funding via Pell Grants, research grants and other federal funds. You're just proving my point.
I've already given an example: transgenderism. Transgenderism is a thing and that has always been the case.
How many university curriculums teach transgenderism? In what form? How to be one, or perhaps just basic awareness? Do you even know? I don't, because I'm hetero, and not really interested in such a 'liberal ideology' when it affects less than 1% of the population. It certainly doesn't affect me personally, so I don't see the urgency in eradicating it, scorched earth, from society. This is only a hot button issue because of religious norms, especially X-tianity.
But the movement has inflated and conflated the idea beyond all comprehension to the point that people are willing to kill for it.
Through religious donors (influence), the government is currently laser focused on maligning this particular small group of people into hiding through shame and possibly even legislation. It is selective enforcement of the illusion of our 'guaranteed rights'. Malign MAGA/democrats/women/minorities/etc. into hiding in similar fashion, expect said groups to retaliate. It doesn't excuse murder or any other political violence, but ignoring tyranny? One does at their own peril. Critical thinking. Try it.
Should the government dare to try maligning the majority, it should be burnt to the ******* ground in 24 hours. But we've become a 10-ply ultra soft society that puts up with 'soft' tyranny like taxes (see: tariffs) and more and more regulation of our lifestyle. Dare to revolt against them? The gov't will have no quarter in
ruining everything about you. The people really running the country are an exclusive club. A club that gives
zero ***** about us. And we're not in it.
Colleges and universities are not the only ones responsible of course but they are known to be hotbeds of liberal ideas and it is known that many have incorporated transgender studies in their gender and sociology courses, among others.
As you admitted, It doesn't affect you personally. Why should your opinion be given any consideration or value?
What are you talking about? That's the first time I've said anything like that in our exchange.
Yeah. It's a lazy debate tactic used by partisan lightweights. Maybe stop doing it.
Of course it is. But does it make one better than those with no college education? No.
Beyond losers with low IQ/self esteem, no one really leans on the superiority logic.
But some educated think they are. I've seen it on this forum many times. I saw once where an educated person, while conversing with an uneducated person, referred to educated people as "your betters". As in: "You should learn to listen to your betters", or words to that effect.
Yes. They are called elitists. Or as I refer to them,
assholes. Get over it.

These morons don't personally affect your life.
But not necessarily true.
Truth is subjective to the teller.
Opinion. You have no idea what my ideologies, traditional norms, and 'activism' are or even that I feel it threatens them.
Try me. I bet I could get pretty damn close.
