I discovered a medical student forum that addresses it. Since they are actually in medical school, I will take their word on it that it is a real thing. Plus, I read some other discussion postings addressing related issues.

Diversity is a code word for anti-white. That is also why I mentioned somebody getting accepted because of the color of their skin (and possibly low grades) instead of the person with the grades for medical school (or law school for that matter).

I see, you're in favor of the status quo, where colleges suck taxpayer dollars to support their liberal indoctrination scam in lieu of dictating just how they use our money? Got it.
We'll just keep on funding the SWJ movement. What is that they say about repeating the same mistake over and over again?

Yes or no, are you in favor of dictating how colleges use our tax dollars or not?

This is why the government is in the student loan business. A bank is not going to give a student loan to someone who wants a degree in gender studies or lesbian basket weaving because they know the kid will never get a job and pay back the loan.

lol, that's funny.  Loan officers should be able to say "Nope, not lending a penny for a piece of crap degree like that.  That would be just as stupid as giving you a home loan for a house full of mold, snakes, and water".

How in the fuck are you getting that I support Liberal college indoctrination when I am pointing out Liberal college indoctrination?

I don't want to give them free college in the first place. Only people that deserve that is military. You are the one that sounds like a Liberal.

If my money pays for a college, you damn right I want oversight.

I think it was Guns N' Roses in the song, Failure to communicate.

Because you're arguing for the stasquo.

Me, a Liberal?
You're the one that doesn't want change.
That's my entire point, we are already paying for college, I'm saying we take that money and redirect it to the hard sciences.
My plan would kill the Marxist indoctrination system immediately.

Just for shits and grins, II though I'd toss out some red meat for the left.
Bare with me, I'm just kidding, but I have a solution for the left's cry for free college.

Let us offer them free college, but there's a hitch, it has to be in the hard sciences, not freakin anthropology or anything like that, but actual science like math based degrees.  (SJW run for safe spaces)
Give subsidies for trade schools in manufacturing as in engine repair, actual working trades.
How fast do you think liberal degrees would disappear?

OK, just a conversation starter, but using history as a guide, the left always gets its way, eventually, so let's kneecap them before they can institute free college for all.
Just half serious...

Your idea to require publicly funded colleges to offer actual job training, or likewise to only offer public school loans to students getting worthwhile degrees sounds like a good plan...in the short term. However, i would be worried about it in the long term. It seems that when the left is in power next time that they would just use this law for their own ends. They would twist it to basically say that only worthless leftist degrees and colleges wld be funded. A better long term plan seems to be removing the gvt from higher education completely (or from all education for that matter)


On a side note: I cant seem to tell what Solar and SoS are even arguing about...  
Cant we all just get along?

That's why I say let's beat them to the punch, we all know eventually the left will get their free college Bill passed, Hell, had Hillary won, they'd be in the process as we speak, and the RINO would be there to help them.
I hate the entire idea of govt being involved on any level, but unless we get a solid Conservative Congress, nothing will change, so I'm trying to be pragmatic. GGod I hate this.

He's just pissed because, twice now, I've thrown cold water on his claim that free speech is dead.
He'll get over it.

What does you accusing me of supporting Liberal status quo have to do me claiming Free Speech is dying?

Those are two separate issues.

Oh cut the bullshit, you and I both know you're pissed because I told you to pick your battles. You start threads on free speech being attacked, problem is, you pick stupid issues to get excited over, and the latest was Alex Jones and the claim that  Conservatives were under attack.
Jones is an idiot and not a Conservative.

If you want to use an example, there are thousands of examples, but Jones?

So, back to the subject a hand. Do you not agree it would be a good start to repurpose the money given to colleges or not?

Obviously, you can't comprehend me saying I don't watch him but recognize the bigger picture. I do put other examples. He is just the current one. We will not have to wait long for another example. But, I can recognize the difference between a radio show host who is an ass and Liberal ran social media who are assholes.

I post examples. You say there is no problem. People disagree with that. Life goes on. I don't know why you are being pompous about it. I will still post those types of threads because it is a very important topic for me. You will always disagree. No need to make a big deal over it.

QuoteSo, back to the subject a hand. Do you not agree it would be a good start to repurpose the money given to colleges or not?

I agree with T Hunt so let's get government out of the education system. I said that college money should be for military only. I said that if you get money for college, there should be strings attached (because what's the use in becoming an American doctor if you are not doctoring in America - the truck driving analogy was a kind of a catch-all). Do you not understand that? How do you get that I support status quo from that?
