‘Uneducated’ hold country ‘hostage,’ says University of South Carolina instructor
The College Fix ^ | 11/6/24 | Matt Lamb

Posted on 11/06/2024 4:40:25 PM PST by CFW

“Uneducated” Americans are holding the country “hostage,” according to an English instructor at the University of South Carolina.

“There is a reason why educated people vote blue. What we’re seeing is the uneducated population of America holding the rest of the country hostage,” Sueanna Smith wrote on X last night. “This is why there’s such a push to weaken education, ban books, and outlaw the teaching of Black history by the Republican Party.”

She wrote a handful of other posts after that attempting to clarify her point, though she continued to repeat that she believes Trump supporters are not smart.

Exactly! He might be credentialed but he is certainly not educated, in the classical sense. In the left-tard sense he may be, but not in the classical sense.

And then leftists just keep the insults coming.

And they don’t stop to realize or think that this is the very reason people voted for Trump and she’s just validating their decision.

Uneducated? You mean the people who don’t have tens of thousands in student loans? You would think the people who have the loans and were lied to about getting them forgiven would be voting for Trump.

I don’t know what these guys mean by educated…but they make stupid decisions.

My experience with English teachers, was that they are female and democrats. Think about it, for a native USA person with English as their native language, living in the US, what college degree could be less demanding than to be an English major/teaching major?
Physics, Engineering, Computer Science...etc they tough.
English? Well, women’s studies, black studies, basket weaving and maybe photography majors a bit easier.
Mentally lazy and/or challenged become English teachers. Relative was an English major...could not get a job in it.
IMO English teachers are the bottom of the list of intellectual giants of academia.

I wonder if ‘Perfesser’ Sueanna Smith is smart enough to know that she is merely echoing the lying propaganda of other leftist ‘Perfessers’, media people and leftist politicians, or is actually smart enough to realize it, but is so evil of soul that she repeats it anyway.

So sad those of us who know that if TSHTF this woman would be the first to die of stupidity.

Mother wit is much more intelligent than useless edumacation.

“Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t teach, instruct English”


And those who can’t teach English, become college advisors
(based on our sons experiences in college)

Educated doesn’t always equal smart.

Funny how the Alt Left clown cult were running around screaming about “defending democracy” until people actually voted.

I’m educated and have the credentials to prove it. My wife even more so. We both voted MAGA all the way. This leftist twat can drown in their own Communist tears.

Well we gave Sueanna Smith a lesson on the power of “we the people” even if we are “ignorant”.

How many times can they call us names without getting a clue that they are part of the problem?

I bet I’ve read a lot more books than Kamala. I’m not sure I see education as the sticking point that divides us.

“Despite her education levels, including a doctorate in English (which she highlights on X), instructor Smith has had problems with dating, by her own admission.”

The answer is obvious. Reread your quotes cyka.

When elites feel they know what is best for others and openly state that voters are ignorant and their votes are worth less than those of the “enlightened” you absolutely know why the Democratic Party lost the vote of so many people who do manual and skilled labor for a living and why they lost so much minority block votes.

The Democratic Party elite should listen to Bernie Sanders. Of course I would prefer they not learn from their mistakes.
