Exactly the same reason Obama doesn't like
As KGB/Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov made clear, America's public education system -which demoralizes kids and keeps them pliable/stupid- has been infiltrated by low standards of achievement/morality + communist doctrine for decades now. The self-hating, unthinking drones it was meant to produce have already helped to elect Barack Obama -as dangerous a
post turtle as there's ever been- to the most powerful office in the world, great.
But 13 years of far-left indoctrination by the neo-Soviet zombies of the NEA are apparently not enough for the Obammunist left... these fiends are bound-and-determined to keep young people -as they enter adulthood- away from small businesses and entrepreneurs, which Ronald Reagan famously stated are 'responsible for most or all of the economic growth in the US'.
Obama's Big Government surge has of course smothered these job-producers, AND provides the added side benefit of keeping impressionable youth away from capitalists, as illustrated in March's 12.6% REAL youth unemployment rate (counting those who have given up looking and left the labor pool). Some see the overall rate as high as 11.6% anyway, due to the lowest labor-force participation rate since 1979 (and you know who was President then).
As for black youth, the true jobless rate crosses the 50% (!) threshold in such Democratic hellholes as Detroit and Vegas- what's the chance any of these people will ever start a business that doesn't involve standing on a street corner with little plastic bags and a gun?
These are kids who will grow up thinking people who work for an honest living are not as clever as them, and will never understand capitalism in any sort of positive way: add this to the breakdown of American families and they'll have no choice but to vote for liberals who will perpetuate the welfare state to which they've been wed.
Yes, the importance of common-sense, hands-on business experience is surely noted by some educators, as internships upon completion of either HS or college have long been valued by employers... yet I would suggest that having a job at 16-18
-before college- GREATLY prepares one studying for a business degree- more likely to actually pay attention because you can relate to what they're talking about.
Today in the US, much of that KGB-initiated damage is permanent it seems, the only possible solution being an abrupt political turn to the right, yet Republicans dither, hem, and haw as ruthless, 'progressive' zealots implement a cradle-to-grave welfare state most of us want nothing to do with.
Startups and small businesses -along with the employment/experience they provide so many- are being crushed by regulation, Obamacare, and taxes, while larger corporatist allies of this foul administration are swimming in gravy. It's going to take a brave and principled conservative to turn all this around, unlike the Vichy Republicans at the top of the GOP now, that's for sure.

Liberal Arts degrees used to be worth something because it taught people to think critically.
Nowadays, universities don’t want such critical thinking because it would ruin their promotion of propaganda.
IMO if you’re not getting a degree in something applied like Computer Science, Engineering, or Chemistry than it’s essentially taking on 30K of debt for a glorified High School Diploma thanks to grade inflation and lowered standards.

Great point shadow, no room for critical thinking of any sort- they’ll tell you what you need to know (along with what you DON’T need to know...)

In the mid-50s Nikita Khrushchev said openly that “your teachers will be taught and they won’t even know that they’re being taught. Your children will be taught and they won’t even know that they’re being taught.”
At the time the communist media in this country dismissed the words as being only ‘rhetoric’.
However, his words have come to pass.

How am I writing off anything?
Point being, most Liberal Arts degrees are shadows of what they used to be. If we don’t admit that, then we can’t correct it.

Paranoia of communism in our country was a concept promoted in deception with the goal of our destruction.

Senator Joe McCarthy not only deserves an apology. He deserves a medal.

30k? If you are lucky enough to get some good scholarships, you will be taking on 80-100k of debt. Add another 100k if you are looking at a masters.

At 12 I sold worms and answered the phone in a small town taxi office. At 13 I picked cherries. At 14 I picked strawberries/raspberries/cucumbers. At 15 I worked before and after school in the attendance office and picked fruit in the summer. Then I got the job at the school during the summer and at the cannery at night. I got work ethic and money to buy my own shoes with. I eventually sold insurance and became very successful at it, working sometimes 20 hour days to get the job done. I am so grateful for my young job experience because I would never have had the chance to develop the work ethic without it.

Joseph McCarthy deserves much more than an apology and medal but.....the communist press here ridiculed and destroyed him.
