Democrats don't understand what it means to be educated

Conservatives are either whining about and hating what is taught in public schools or they are whining that elites with college educations sneer at them or they are jealously sneering at the college educated as woke snob neo-something or other, oppressors of Trump and admirers of Marx.

What IS your problem? Get a degree and quit whining.
You do see the irony here right? You whining about Conservatives whining. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I have a degree. I went to night school to finish college. Going back to school was one of the worst decisions I ever made in my life. I will never get that time back I spent away from my family and children. Turns out all I really needed was that round thing sitting on top of my shoulders.
 
We are 36 trillion in debt because we have all these services for people and deadbeats and illegals with the same money.
😂😂😂

Rant based on nothing but conjecture.
Time to cut it out. We need to shrink services to the bare bones, ship back the illegals and stop the DEI and tranny nonsense.
😂😂😂

More ranting with no basis in reality.
Next year can't come fast enough.
I’m looking forward to the “FO” phase for the MAGAs also. Should be amusing.
This stuff of claiming "Oh there's enough money for teachers
Paid by local and state taxes predominantly, not federal. So…no impact.
for illegals,
Unable to receive most federal benefits. Pay IN a great deal to the system through taxes though.
health care for illegals,

government workers who "work" from home will soon be over.
Which is also such a strange concept. Companies have simply downsized the office space they lease and saved the overhead costs associated with having office space.

More than 80% of federal workers aren’t even located in DC. And never have been.

Shall we ask them to use type writers and fax machines also? 😂
I know the grieving stages are difficult, but the final stage of acceptance will have to come. Your side lost and not only lost, but your idealism and ideas were crushed big time.
😂😂😂

MAGA winning an election doesn’t change anyone else’s ideals. It’s cute to think that it does though.

There is no grief. Only amusement at this juncture.
 
It’s a systemic problem with HOW our public education is funded.

Wealthy districts in wealthy areas with strong local tax bases far much better than poorer ones.

By design of the current funding system for public education.

Yes. And, like I said, adding (or "cramming, as you said) in more for gifted students isn't taking anything away.

Look, this WOKE agenda and DEI is finished. We will need all 12 years of Trump and the Vance to correct it because your side has had this agenda for 3 decades culminating in a far-left Biden who allowed and still allows the extreme left to run things for him while he's continually at the beach. Blinken giving employees of the government counseling after Trump won.

For me and many others the long 4-year nightmare is over. Riots condoned by your side because one rogue cop killed a drug addict criminal, rampant depending on trans causes, green energy, illegals, housing and all sorts of nonsense. That sheet is over. We survived it but with 36 trillion in debt and the ONLY solution is to trim these silly and needless programs and wasteful spending such as a department not being able to find 500 billion dollars and us footing the entire bill for Ukraine instead of Europe.

Your side is cooked and none too soon. Had Commyla won, America would have been finished.
 
Liberals don't study engineering, the sciences, mathematics and many other subjects that require critical thinking and problem solving skills.

That is one of the most dishonest posts I have ever seen. You think there's a reason that scientists are disproportionately liberal? Why do you think right-wing fascists want to shut them up?
 
Yes. And, like I said, adding (or "cramming, as you said) in more for gifted students isn't taking anything away.
Some inner-city schools get far more in spending than any other schools, so it is a lie that they are underfunded. Also, unknown to many, some inner-city schools have armed cops.
 
It's also hilarious that these self-professed geniuses are doubling down on everything that caused them to lose an election to an uneducated serial liar grifter rapist seditionist insurrectionist domestic terrorist nazi Hitler fascist senile convicted felon criminal misogynist racist. Those of us who don't like what the democrats have become should encourage them to triple down.

Leftists: How do you feel about Candace Owens? Larry Elder? Clarence Thomas? Don't hold back now, tell us how you really feel, and don't be afraid to use the N word.
You brought the sauce! (y)

Let it all out @Paradoxical. Dump those grievances in a big long post largely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Hopefully it makes you feel better.

When you want to have an actual conversation about the topic at hand, let me know.
 
I find it comical (in an absurd sort of way), that MAGAs tend to lump all higher education learning into WOKE indoctrination camps, and opponents like Charlie Kirk tend to think of higher education as such a waste.
I truly wonder if rich people like Charlie go out of their way to demand that when they need a life-saving procedure, they insist on no more than a GED qualified expert (after all they are the truly 'educated').

I'd love for those idiots to see how we can run our technology-dependent economy with American students only. A lot of STEM employees are legal immigrants, and we're going to shut them out either by policy or reputation if tRump gets his way.
 
There is a reason for that. You are unwilling or incapable of understanding what DEIA is. Your burden is self imposed.
I understand what it is. That is why I reject it.
 
Then why am I paying off their damn student loans?
We all benefit from those people with STEM degrees with a higher standard of living and a vibrant consumer economy. Conservatives expect them to go to college but then hamstring them with what can be a lifetime of predatory student loans.

If you ever took an econ course in college you would understand why this policy of paying for higher education loans makes sense.


I understand what it is. That is why I reject it.
If you understand it so well then you will have no problem explaining it to me.
 
Yes the libruls are quite confused in that regard. The reality is that any voter who attended K-though 12 and graduated is educated, otherwise what's the point? An extended education is excellent if it's in a field that's leads to a productive career, however I know have known a few with BA degrees that ended up onloading bananas at the state docks.
Yes it's interesting that the nearly trillion dollars spent on K-12 public education in America that the left thinks isn't getting enough money is, according to the same left, inadequate to produce an "educated" graduate.

I’m sorry folks don’t seem to understand “minimal expectations”

High school diploma = minimum.

That’s not a major achievement, it’s the minimal expectation.
 
If your district isn’t doing it, that’s a your district thing.

Take it up with them.

Already been discussed with my district.

But, as I already showed you, it's not just my district. This is a problem across the board.
 
I agree!!

Collidge ain't no good!! 🤡 (y)
College can be a tool, a means to an end. Just because you have a dental drill doesn't mean you're a good dentist. Likewise, just because you got a fancy piece of paper in exchange for $200,000 of debt doesn't mean you're smarter than someone who didn't.

That's really out there. I think I will let that comment stand on it's own merit. Nothing more for me to add here.

See answer above.

Do think that the 'nearly trillion dollars' spent on that education will be returned to the taxpayers, meaning, it's no longer factored into our federal income taxes? Is it going to save "us" $$? If not, where's the beneficial efficiency?
 
The world's greatest thinkers lived in poverty.
Some probably did. And some were alcoholics. Some were drug addicts. Some committed suicide. What's your point? You're supposed to try and imitate the best traits of great people, not their worst traits.

See answer above.

Paying for advanced education is always a net positive for a society because of the benefits of an educated society.
I would have no problem explaining it to anyone.
Then start explaining it.

How about applying it to school choice vouchers?
