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.
1.) I didn’t say anything about powerful people.
2.) I’m not the only one who feels this way.
3.) I specifically referred to the
world’s standards and how we rank compared to them, not mine.
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.
Why does any of this matter when half our kids can’t find Denmark on a map?
It seems to be less about quality education and more to do with your infatuation with INSTITUTIONS.
You're just proving my point.
What point?
How many university curriculums teach transgenderism? In what form? How to be one, or perhaps just basic awareness? Do you even know?
Did you expect that I would count them?
A quick Google search yielded many hits including websites that have lists of LGBTQ-friendly schools, most of which offer gender and transgender courses, workshops and support groups.
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.
That’s just left propaganda. For me and many others, including many Christians, it’s not about eradicating transgenderism because we simply don’t care. It’s a lifestyle choice that has no bearing on our lives.
It only became a hot button issue when they started going into girls’ locker rooms and demanding we guess their gender and pronouns.
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.
Democrats tried imposing mandates during Covid and those who refused the vaccines were shamed, had their livelihoods threatened and were hounded on social media as The Utouchables (my words). It was starting to look like the goddamn Indian caste system.
Both sides are guilty of imposing their own brands of tyranny. The Democrat brand of tyranny is just more subtle.
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.
You’re probably right on all counts but regarding transgenderism, I would be content to just keep the biological males out of girls’ locker rooms and competing against their own biological genders in sports. Beyond that, I don’t care.
As you admitted, It doesn't affect you personally. Why should your opinion be given any consideration or value?
I didn’t ask for consideration, nor did I ascribe any value to it.
Yeah. It's a lazy debate tactic used by partisan lightweights. Maybe stop doing it.
I was giving you shit because you spouted the pat word that is the current trend among those on the left (a lazy debate tactic itself) mostly by partisan lightweights to convey a hyperbolic, ersatz sense of urgency. Like the word “racist”, it has become devoid of all meaning. Maybe stop doing it.
Beyond losers with low IQ/self esteem, no one really leans on the superiority logic.
Yes. They are called elitists. Or as I refer to them,
assholes. Get over it.

These morons don't personally affect your life.
Have I indicated in any that I think these things affect me personally?
Truth is subjective to the teller.
No it’s not.
Try me. I bet I could get pretty damn close.
Please, do tell. I would love to see what ridiculous assumptions you’ve made about me.
