So an Art teacher or a Music teacher is a failure if they don't espouse your Conservative beliefs to their non-political class?
WOW. Congratulations for just ****ing all over higher education.
Those engineers came here.
If America was not competing, people wouldn't still be coming here over any other country.
Sorry but the socialist mantra that 'we' the 'public' through government are the only ones who can invest in technology and growth is just naive. And observably false. We didn't get to where we are today versus every single other country in the world because government invested in whatever.

Except they didn't. America isn't very competitive in engineering, actually. Even a lot of American-born engineers wind up leaving.
I mean, I guess so, if you just make up your own reality to suit your beliefs.
I didn't say it was only the government investing in it, did I. Again, you and just making stuff up to suit your beliefs.
I had lunch and dinner with an Indian (Asia) gentlemen, who is a highly technical business owner in the US. Over half of his employees are caucasian Americans. However, he is moving his business to Switzerland, because of the anti-dark-people attitudes in this country. This was evident when the former navy man shot 3 individuals in Olathe, Kansas, killing a young Indian man.
He also mentioned that the US will lose billions, as foreign students stop attending American Universities. The US has over 90 of the top 100 Universities worldwide. This could be devastating.

Except the did, there is a reason all the big tech companies lobby for more visas. That quota is met every single year. If it was higher, it would still be met. Yeah let's pretend that America not investing in engineering was not made up to suit your beliefs. Or that we are not competitive. No that's not made up at all. Smoke and mirrors.

There are 7.4 billion people on this planet. For every foreign student that declines their offer to attend a US university, there are countless others willing to take their place.
Absolutely we will. Now many foreign students haven't been very interested in US politics--until now. Because if this anti-immigrant ideology continues to get more and more cooked into Trump's policies, well, that wall might not just rise between us and Mexico but us and the whole damn world.
On a related note, while the US continues to twiddle its thumbs and refuse to increase public university funding now that the economy has been back on track, other nations, such as China, are picking up where we are choosing to leave off.
A significant number of foreign students will come here so that they can overstay their visas. The U.S. is still the #1 country to come to for illegal immigrant births.
Just how many foreign students are coming from those six banned countries...I would say not many.
America was 'Great' when I graduated college about the same time Lyndon Johnson & his partner in crime Ted Kennedy
were the prime movers of the Immigration Act of 1965 opening the floodgates & allowing much more foreigners of every creed,
color & country entry.
Now 'American exceptionalism' was a slogan heard as much in those days as it is now. If so, why did we need foreign types
to storm the US college landscape. Through grade school, highschool & graduation from college I never had a fellow student
from the Middle East, India, all of Asia, Africa or Latin America &that situation suited me just fine.
One of the reasons why they come here on student visas seems to be overstaying their student visas & somehow gain
legal status here. Also in the era discussed I'm sure foreigners get special preference in many ways from the colleges'
For instance Barack Obama's literary agency Acton & Dystel promoting his book in 1991 as born in Kenya & raised in
Indonesia, perhaps in an attempt to sell books. Many have theorized he went through college as a Foreign Exchnage student
in order to scam a foreign born scholarship.
I see no problem for this country losing foreign students, it will simply open the door for worthwhile Americans.
IMO since The United Federation of Teachers Albert Shanker, demanded the teachers' reinstatement. At the start of the
school year in 1968, the UFT held a strike that shut down New York City's public schools for nearly two months,
ever since then the reputation of teachering as a profession has gone down hill.
Let's see, that was before the Internet. The Berlin Wall was still up. Oh that's right - we're reverting back to walls. Maybe we should put a gigantic bubble around the entire US.
He sounds like a one-trick pony who knows something about technology but little else.
As for foreign students never fear
they will continue to come to America and keep the liberal professors from having to find real jobs in the private sector,
Absolutely we will. Now many foreign students haven't been very interested in US politics--until now. Because if this anti-immigrant ideology continues to get more and more cooked into Trump's policies, well, that wall might not just rise between us and Mexico but us and the whole damn world.

Whaat?
Why, oh why do you think school teachers are all liberals? And if they are, why the hell don't conservatives get into teaching? Is a degree in education beyond the reach of a conservative?Come to think of it, scientists are all liberals too, right? In fact, there isn't an academic field that sin't dominated by liberals, is there. Engineering, maybe, mechanical engineering anyway.
School teachers are not all liberal
But so many are that the failed public schools are dominated by liberals
The Trumpanzees think universities are just Liberal Indoctrination Camps. They will celebrate the further dumbing down of America. Brings it down to their level.
Academia isn't a real job?
Jesus, the anti-intellectualism and ignorance of the right never lets up.
Dumbest comment of the week.
A unique situation happens every school day in NYC compliments of the NY Teachers Union,
here are some of the REAL JOBS of Academia
'A group of teachers, along with about six hundred others, in six larger Rubber Rooms in the city’s five boroughs,
have been accused of misconduct, such as hitting or molesting a student, or, in some cases, of incompetence,
in a system that rarely calls anyone incompetent.
The teachers have been in the Rubber Room for an average of about three years, doing the same thing every day—
which is pretty much nothing at all. Watched over by two private security guards and two city Department of Education
supervisors, they punch a time clock for the same hours that they would have kept at school—typically, eight-fifteen to
three-fifteen. Like all teachers, they have the summer off. The city’s contract with their union, the United Federation of
Teachers, requires that charges against them be heard by an arbitrator, and until the charges are resolved—the process
is often endless—they will continue to draw their salaries and accrue pensions and other benefits.
“You can never appreciate how irrational the system is until you’ve lived with it,” says Joel Klein,
the city’s schools chancellor, who was appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg seven years ago.
Neither the Mayor nor the chancellor is popular in the Rubber Room. “Before Bloomberg
and Klein took over, there was no such thing as incompetence,”
