The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[schmidlap]

Education? Since when is it really necessary? Look at some of the real Prime Movers in this countries History. Many were self taught. Besides ,anyone can read a book. Or WRITE one ,for that matter. MARX was a Fatass "Intellectual" who never did a days work in his life. Whereas Vanderbuilt and Rockefeller started out pretty low.

Your resentment directed at education and, consequently, at the best-educated states and their greater economic success, lower crime rates, superior health and longevity is noted.

Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers had a very different attitude to education's importance to our democratic republic:

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.​

To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education.

Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.

To all of which is added a selection from the elementary schools of subjects of the most promising genius, whose parents are too poor to give them further education, to be carried at the public expense through the college and university. The object is to bring into action that mass of talents which lies buried in poverty in every country, for want of the means of development, and thus give activity to a mass of mind, which, in proportion to our population, shall be double or treble of what it is in most countries.

If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.

Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.

To instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests and duties, as men and citizens...this brings us to the point at which are to commence the higher branches of education . . . . To develop the reasoning faculties of our youth, enlarge their minds, cultivate their morals, and instill into them the precepts of virtue and order.

All the States but our own are sensible that knowledge is power.

The reason those without college degrees tend to vote Republican and college-educated vote Democrat is because the college-educated have enough income to protect themselves from the consequences of Democrat policies.

it is the working class -those without degrees - who are suffering under Dem policies. It is they who struggle to buy groceries under Bidenomics. Struggling to pay the electric bill and fill the gas tank. it is they who compete with illegals for rental apartments. It is they who who suffer from poorer caliber schools where the illegals settle.

(Of course, there are always exceptions. My friends - all Republicans - have doctorates and grad degrees.)

Your academic prejudices are quite blatant.

Knowledge is good:

I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy.
My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study
Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry and Porcelaine.

When someone disagrees with John Adams extolling the value of a liberal education long ago, you know that mindless prejudice still festers.

Sitting on your ass babbling fashionable idiocy isn't getting 'a liberal education' you dumbass tard.

Here is an example of the kind of dufuses warming seats in colleges these days.







I thought the Democrats here were ignorant pieces of shit, but it's far worse than I thought at colleges where their kids warm seats and take out ridiculous loans from loan sharks and then snivel about paying for the 10 years of getting a Bachelor's in Rainbow Farts.

they should double the interest rates these ******* idiots pay and increase their tax rates to 150% of wages just for wasting all the Federal money and still being so stupid. let them live in card board shacks and root through dumpsters the rest of their lives.

"Get a Helmet, man." lol amen; blithering idiots, whole crowds of these morons running loose on campuses. Keep telling us you think these morons are 'educated', gimp; you look like a clueless fool all on your own, and you get more votes for Trump with your raving stupidity.
