Maybe we should all stop sending these indoctrination machines that pose as Colleges and Universities $50K per year to ruin our kids.

Easier said than done. It's a huge issue.

I've got a young teen and tween who are both smart and academically oriented. Not everybody can go to Hillsdale, and they don't offer engineering. I would certainly be as proud of them if they wanted to go into the trades instead of going to university, but I don't think that's going to be a fit for either of them.

I'm hoping we'll see some entrepreneurship and creative destruction in the university sector. There are many parents who want better alternatives.

Trade school is the best route to competence and entrepreneurship at the moment.

No itтАЩs not, LOL. You simply pay for it in significantly higher taxes. Nothing in life is free. At least nothing worth buying.

But everyone will pay the taxes and all will have education and medical. I'm reminded once again of something a man in Denmark (every year named the happiest country) said when someone asked him if he didn't mind paying those high taxes. He said, "No, I don't mind. I don't want to be a rich man in a poor country." How unlike a majority of US Americans. It states in the Preamble to the Constitution that the government's first duty is to the welfare of the people.

Yes. I have been hoping this as well.

$200k or more to get a credential, to get a shot at a top flight career. What a racket.

I've been holding out hope the system would break down before my kids graduate high school, but I'm running out of time.

Most WOKE people are living on their own dime. Most Anti Woke people are living on their own dime.

What you are saying is that if your child does not agree with the set of LIES you beleive in then you should not support then right in the middle of a pandemic when more 20 somethings than ever are being forced to live at home.

Got it.
