Everything before “but” is BS. You’re not presenting much of a case for High Learning.
High learning is fine, Many a Texas rancher has read Kipling and Socrates.
The notion that a piece of paper from a 3rd party makes one man more educated than the other is folly.
What I find with most higher education is that it teaches people to work within taught parameters that reflect the teacher.
Many of our academics are brain washers, more than teachers
Oh they teach the math, but that is not what they emphasize.
They emphasis systems of thought.
Indoctrination
We will take the 2nd amendment for example.
Liberal college “perfessors” will dote over what the meaning of is, “Is” by citing the passage about a well armed “militia” while ignoring personal communiques on the 2nd amendment by the authors of the 2nd that clarify the matter with certainty.
If you dare challenge them they say the evidence can not be considered as it is not part of the Amendment, it is simply a personal letter.
Bah!!
