I had the same idea...but...try to talk kids out of going to college. Forget it. They've been propagandized about the need for a college education and won't skip it.

If it's propaganda, parents have bought into it, also...for themselves and for their kids. At some point, that piece of paper, that college degree became a must for job success.

For those who prefer to work at a trade, they need a different kind of education. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they won't be putting out $35,000 to $100,000+ to learn.

I'm not suggesting those wanting a college education should "skip it"...only that those who foot the bill "postpone" that decision. It would require a united effort to "wake up" these institutions, let them know that their leftist-leaning "professors" are paid to teach the subject only...and not to espouse their political philosophy. Add to that, parents and students will no longer pay inflated tuition costs.

Without someone willing to lead this crusade, it ain't gonna happen. We'll keep on "putting up with" the same way we tolerate open borders, government waste, etc., etc.
