Why many conservatives find education dangerous

A quick short read that nails it. Conservatives think education is brainwashing when in fact education gives one the tools to freely reject poorly supported arguments and bad logic.

There is no mystery why conservatives find education dangerous. A 2015 Pew Research Center study quantified that the better educated one is, the more likely one is to hold liberal beliefs. But I’d argue, contrary to what conservatives seem to feel, that’s not because of bullying professors shouting left-wing dogma. Rather, it’s because once you learn how to think, you’re less susceptible to thin reasoning and easy answers. And increasingly, that’s all conservatism’s got.

Conservatives love and encourage education. We abhor indoctrination. You're confused.

Brainwashing is what's dangerous.
 
citygator so why do liberals say black schools are failing arent they getting that awesome liberal education you bragged about
Youre obviously confused. Blacks as a group get a worse education unless they are in a good school district. Almost as bad as conservatives.

What they hate is delusional social bullshit that has no place in education.

As a Conservative I have serious issues with over-education in our current school system as well as slanted education (at both ends of the spectrum).

Conservatives in many cases find the entire scientific method to be unreliable. Their preferred method of reasoning is to come to a firm, bold conclusion. And then no matter what, stick with it....regardless of evidence or consequence.

This they call 'consistency'.

The actual scientific method requires testing your own conclusions and changing them as new evidence comes in. Thus, your position often changes over time as our understanding is refined by new information.

This they call 'unreliable'.

Education is a threat to their entire paradigm.....as it is, by its very nature, the introduction of new information. And new info and new evidence has no place in their reasoning process. Only their conclusion, which they ride to the grave.

Generally speaking, the less you know the better you are at being a conservative.
 
The very definition of conservative tells you the problem.

"Why learn that new fangled stuff when the old stuff works just fine Paw?"

It is once you learn how to THINK LEFTIST (aka "brainwashing-for those too dumb to see that it is happening to them)") you are less able to think with common sense, and are more apt to succumb to DUPE talk.

In social affairs, the more MISeducated one is, the more likely one is to hold liberal beliefs. Masters and Phd levels are the worst.

Most focused people in social affairs, are those without ANY college, although even these people have been miseducated (and under-educated) at the high school levels also, especially if attending public schools, rampant with liberal brainwashed "teachers".
