VERY STUPID MOVE as all that will accomplish is making the next generation of conservatives unqualified for any work. Better solution is to fight and fix things rather than quit and cower. This is a bit of the overall problem, too many people prefer quitting.

I think Trump may have found his next VP candidate.

I studied electronics and continued to work every day while my MBA/PhD brother was sucking wind for over two years back in the Obama crash. College isn’t for everyone. We certainly don’t need people who will borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain a degree that ends in “studies”.

Agree about “higher education” , here in the US the education system has been corrupted and needs to be dismantled and reformed. Most people would do just fine without a college degree.

Not a scam. Students pick their own major. My daughter majored in Art History, went into Graphic Design and I see her ads on social media.

“The small evangelical Christian school is a magnet for homeschoolers because it is known to place graduates into federal government positions successfully.”

That in itself is an indicator of the trouble our society is in.

Many degrees come with a free minor in Marxism.

I agree completely. Besides hard sciences, college is a total scam.

True, but unfortunately a college degree is often required for jobs that should not require them. This is a result of in-house qualifications and testing being deemed discriminatory. A college degree (when it actually meant something) was then used as a substitute.

According to a posting on CitizenFreePress he also announced that he and his wife are divorcing. Apparently he being in congress has put irreparable strain on the marriage. He chose congress over her; she chose divorce over him.

So much internal conflict

You say the right things, then why are you and Cristina getting a divorce? Does she want to go back to Florida?

You know, Madison, the Enemy knows the Word better than any human. Like this, the Enemy knows how to lie to you when you hear 99.9999999% of the truth...that 0.0000001% is a lie...

Let me make another analogy with the percentage. Let’s say our soul is intact and pure at 100%. You commit one small sin, let’s say the common “having marital relations before marriage” in today’s culture. With ignorance of the full content and you agree with that one tiny sin, your makeup is at the 99.9999999% mark. However you fluctuate through the years, that tiniest of sin will be a mark against you into the pit with the other sinners. With Yeshua, however, you will be reborn and have an intact 100% soul again.

Madison claims he has a good relation with Jesus Christ, but then remains in politics...perhaps you need to have a good relation with the Father through Christ Yeshua; save your marriage and do things in your control. While I agree with your premise on college loans, you went to (and dropped out of) a Christian college. I went to Liberty as a dual-serviced veteran, originally in Theological Studies, but graduated in Behavioral Sciences, Computational Sciences, and Counseling. Waste of time, Madison?

You’re young. Figure it out before it is too late, bro.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn calls higher education a ‘scam,’ urges conservatives to ‘drop out’ unless they are studying the hard sciences

Says the man who was a going to be a Poli Sci major before flunking out after a semester.

“Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton Princeton University, contend that Americans who don’t have a college degree face a “bleak” and deadlier future compared to those who do.”

complete elitist ivory tower bullshite: the U.S. has a desperate shortage of those who can build things, make things, and/or repair things ... just try to find someone who can cut down a tree or remodel a kitchen ...

He should narrow his comment down to the “social sciences.”

they are completely and utterly corrupted by the Left.

“I think the most important thing for us to do is to save souls for Jesus Christ. But that’s our jobs as Christians”.

Well, no - that’s GOD’s job. Christians don’t save anybody, we give people the opportunity to know Christ and his saving power. Critical difference, and sloppy language like this doesn’t help.

We need to support (and yes, even with my tax dollars if necessary) TRADE schools.

I have nothing against people studying English poetry, ancient history, or political science, but investing in the next generation of welders, plumbers, mechanics, draftsmen, linemen, heavy equipment operators, and truckers is a use of tax dollars that will actually repay us- both in terms of lower unemployment and a healthier economy.

It would be better to have low-interest loans, because kids learning an actual marketable skill are going to pay that loan off really quickly compared to the poor idiot with a $150K aboriginal basket weaving PhD, but I’d rather we put 100K more mechanics and plumbers and electricians into the field than 100K soldiers or welfare workers.

I got a great liberal arts education (History). It was academically rigorous, teachers did not push their own viewpoints in class and worth the cost. It was only after the end of the semester that I would discuss current events with the professors and most would talk about anything. To be sure, most had liberal leanings, but it never came through in the choice of reading assignments, lectures, etc. Maybe I was lucky.

I get more politics in class for the graduate courses I take in environmental science, policy, etc. And mostly from other students.

Apparently there is such a screaming need for tradesmen and women, that if you are good at it, you can pull in a 6 figure income with no problem at all.

Having a marketable skill instead of a degree in sociology or gender studies, is going to put food on your table for your life time.

And if conservatives are the ones who can fix things, they have the liberal snowflakes over a barrel. They will survive if/when TSHTF.
