I want a right to a porche!
Supposedly people have a right to a highschool educaction, but look how few people actually get one.
Maybe they should fix HS before they start socially promoting PhD students.
Done.
...what's that? oh, you want a diploma too? Well, why didn't you say so? you said "education", not "certification". That's different. Certification of comprehensive knowledge of 40 different subjects, well, that's going to take several dozen people hundreds of hours to carry out - THAT is not cheap.
Why not a right not to work, oh hell, we already have that. Damn, called a government employee.
If a president can give it to you, it isn't a right.
Rights come from God.
I think we should end mandatory schooling. Parents who want their kids to be educated will find a way to make sure they are.
Parents who don’t care will produce the bottom tier manual labor force.
We decided that everybody had a right to a high school education, and look how well that worked out. </sarcasm>
these teachers and professors and colleges preach socialism etc so why don’t they make education cheaper,
Get paid less, the colleges pay the professors less like half and that way tuition is less.
what’s that, yep professors want to make their nice big money , colleges want to make their nice money but preach socialism when it does hurt them in the pockets.
Oh I paid for my house and it’;s only small because it is all I could afford so I want a bigger house and a nicer car for free.
ARF
I have a better idea, let’s print diplomas on toliet paper, that way they can be put to good use because they will not be worth the paper they are printed on if higher education is a “right.”
The other alternative was basically a work/study program...learning a trade in a working environment.
The more affluent went to private schools or went to Europe to study.
The bottom line...you want something....work for it. THAT'S the American way.
If the people want the gov’t. to pay for something, that’s fine, but please don’t call it a right. Rights have been created for people to steal from their neighbors, the right not to be offended, the right commit sodomy, the right to kill the unborn, etc. William O. Douglas want trees and wild geese to have rights. Where does it end and how does it not cheapen those substantive and genuine rights that our servicemen have died for?
State universities _were_ free in California, a long time ago.
It’s amusing, sort of, to watch Californians pine for more “free” stuff, as they circle the drain.
Someone does not have a “right” to insist I teach them everything I know about Molecular Biology without compensation.
Nobody has a “right” to insist that you fix their car for free.
Nobody has a “right” to insist a Doctor perform a procedure on them for free.
Nobody has a “right” to the compelled and non-compensated labor of another.
Teaching is a labor. Some students are more laborious to teach than others.
With emphasis on the "no brain" part...
It appears to me that the writer is nothing more, or less, than a VERY typical spoiled, selfish, narcissistic, socialistic, anti-capitalist liberal. His 'thesis' boils down to: "I want everything to be given to me and mine, free of charge; I want everything to be given to me and mine right NOW; and I want everything to be given to me and mine without any personal effort or personal sacrifice on the part of me and/or mine..."
But who pays for the government?
I want to take the socialism critique first. The reality is that even here we routinely spend a significant amount of our government’s resources on subsidies, on what tea party supporters might call “socialist policies.” For instance, in 2009 the government spent almost $86 billion on home ownership subsidies in the form of the mortgage interest deduction, subsidizing the home purchases of almost 35 million citizens. In 2010 the government spent almost $104 billion.
These guys can never see the difference between allowing one to keep a bit more of what he has earned, and a gift of money not earned. When you never contribute anything to society, I guess your sense of value diminishes.
Along with your “right” to a college education will come the government’s “right” to specify what degree you pursue.
So, if the government decides there aren’t enough Lesbian poetry majors, that’s where you might find yourself.
While he’s at it, I want the right to be a millionaire. And a pony.
because the world needs ditch diggers and garbage men too ???
or how about, if *everybody* has a degree, who will be the employees in the company when *everybody* is the CEO ???
and this dumbass is a teacher...heheheh...
