“Ultimately college has simply become a place where people go to get their indoctrination and/or to avoid getting on with life.”
Unfortunately, I have some in-laws that fit this mold— right out of a David Horowitz publication.
They’re good, young people, but are clueless. They know better than to debate me. If they were so much “smarter” than me they would have no problem putting me in my place.
It’s not that hard to beat someone who’s core political philosophy is founded on lies.
I, too, have relatives who are heavily indebted for their college “education”. They still think health care and education should be “free”. They owe the system over 100K and continue going to school so they won’t have to pay. I dread the day they will come to realize what a con job was pulled on them. I will be nice an not say “I told you so”, but I did try to tell them.
