Madison Cawthorn Urges Fellow Conservatives to Leave College: 'I Am Proudly a Dropout

[Jarod]

Workplaces and college are two very different things. Not even sure where you are going with that.

By making the Fox reference it just show once again your head is in a partisan mindset. This is about politics and how people vote, not about actual growth or knowledge.

I just read an excellent book from 2019 called The Coddling of the American Mind by two non right wing professors about what’s happening on campuses. And their research is faaaar from the only literature out there. So either you don’t pay attention to it or it doesn’t bother you.

But let’s just say it’s about the opposite of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley in the mid 60’s

What you do not see is that there is a part of the Conservative Trump group that is really only interested in preventing progress or any change at all, they are CONSERVatives. They want to CONSERVE what they believe is the old and correct way. IN many ways an educational institution is inherently anti-CONSERV, because its about PROGRESS with ideas.

Libs are funny that they think they are smart yet can't understand basic economics.

Your team does the Austrian school of economics


The one that thinks math should not be used while doing economics


Your team keeps crashing the world economy

I see. So learning and progress entails not being exposed to differing viewpoints or ideas. Only getting reinforced what you already think.

To each his own but you and I have a very different idea of learning.

Dont you know what happens to philosophies that disparage education as a bad thing?


Fool

 

[Jarod]

Political opinions are not the basis of knowledge and learning. The overwhelming majority of university research has nothing to do with political opinion.

On a surface level you are correct, but you fail to see the group that for example hates the idea of "evolution", they do not want that taught because it basically says things change.

Those who discovered that we evolve in a scientific way did not have a political agenda, I agree, but those opposed did.

Oh, I thought we were discussing universities.

If one is going to college simply with the thought of making money, they probably should drop out.

Going to college generally means having an eye towards a career. But one should be there first and foremost to study something they enjoy and will be fulfilling to them in the long run.

Not everyone is going to enjoy chemical engineering or law torts.

It’s for learning


Always has been

Cretins don’t understand the JOY of learning


There is no cure for an incurious mind

No, you are intentionally misrepresenting what I am saying, it is exactly the opposite of your claim. CONSERVatives want to keep things from changing, you must fight education to do that.

I had an eye towards a career when I went. But I was also there for the intellectual freedom, the chance to interact and network with interesting, driven, high-quality people, and to pursue education in a major which really interested me.

So this is nothing about education or learning or knowledge to you, its simply about how people vote.

I truely went to learn

I wanted to know the things the smart people knew

I was raised poor by high school grads who struggled in life


I wanted to know MORE

I valued education

I valued knowledge

It made my life so much better than it would have been


In so many ways


I’m still in love with facts

It just blows me away that dupes disparage education and facts as bad


It’s like prisoners valuing their shackles over freedom

This is all over the place. We're talking about education. You talking about whether conservatives or liberals want more "change" has nothing to do with this discussion. And reading between the lines here you're basically saying Universities are places of indoctrination, thus the reason we need kids to go there to get them to vote how we want. Hence the support for the suppression of speech on campus and creating an environment where kids aren't challenged but rather coddled.

Hostility to higher education generally comes from college dropouts like Mr. Cawthorn, those who never went to college, or conservatives.

I think most educated people tend to vote more liberally, but its not due to indoctrination, its the nature of being an educated person, you understand so realities.

Absurd, reactionary, and uninformed.

Fear of the unknown is a factor, the more educated you are the more you realize there are no black and white answers, if freaks weak people out.

 

[BidenPresident]

Fear of the unknown is a factor, the more educated you are the more you realize there are no black and white answers, if freaks weak people out.

Good point. And what most students should learn is that criticism is how knowledge advances.

In justifying his remarks, the North Carolina Republican pointed to his own homeschooling education.

"If you are not becoming an engineer or a doctor or a lawyer, I highly encourage you to drop out. It's a scam," the congressman said.

The native of Asheville, North Carolina also implored those listening to "try and have a great job, you should be as successful as you possibly can."

Cawthorn spent a single semester at Patrick Henry College in 2017 before dropping out with mostly D grades, according to a deposition obtained by The Washington Post. He was also reportedly rejected from the U.S. Naval Academy.

I agree with her, knowledge would destroy their way of life.

How is the left or the Democratic Party of the Jackass about knowledge?

 

[Truth Detector]

Libs are funny that they think they are smart yet can't understand basic economics.

It's far worse than not understanding economics. It's also understanding basic math, human nature and having common sense.

Conservatives envision a world without mathematicians, physicists, historians, oceanographers, philosophers, geneticists, wildlife biologists, architects, archeologists, psychologists, chemists.
