If public education were a car, would you buy it?
But that’s a silly question, because they force you to buy it whether you want it or not, whether you use it or not.
We are getting a raw deal. Our country is “educating” itself to death. I don’t mean that as a figure of speech.
Look at our government. We Americans must be the biggest suckers ever to walk the earth.

Is there a state that’s short a governor?
I keep asking myself how long this crazy stuff can go on; and I don’t know the answer.
Why do we have a “transgender” movement? Was there some kind of demand for it? Really? Why do you get kicked out of your job for saying only women can give birth to babies?
Why does the government tell you how many points your high school football team’s allowed to score? Why does the governor of New York insist there were no hurricanes until we came along with our SUVs and created Climate Change?
Who thinks it’s a good idea to keep the crazies in the driver’s seat?

It wouldn’t surprise me to find others writing up this scenario: it just naturally springs to mind.
Of course, this is just a way-out satire that could never, ever happen in real life…
We keep saying that, and keep finding out we’re wrong.

A Newswithviews.com reader has just informed me that my NWV column this week, on “College–the Brain Masher,” has been tagged by Google with an “ALL RED Dangerous Web Page Warning.” ( http://newswithviews.com/Duigon/lee367.htm ) I don’t see that when I go to the NWV page, so I’d be interested to know whether any of you have seen it. But certainly I have no reason not to believe the reader.
So… I said America’s university system needs to be shrunk, not expanded, and that our colleges indoctrinate their students with left-wing piffle and addle their brains–and that’s supposed to be dangerous? Hey, I went to college and it threw me off the track for more than thirty years: and it wasn’t anywhere near as awful, back then.
It seems I have become a menace to society. I guess Joe Collidge is right about me. I suppose I ought to be proud of having earned this distinction; but, in fact, it doesn’t give me all that nice a feeling. All I’m doing is calling it like I see it. That’s dangerous?
Oh, well, at least I’m in good company.
No, Google, it’s not this unimportant blogger who’s dangerous. It’s our college system that is dangerous. But I suppose you’ll want to live in the world these confused young people make, when it’s their turn to take over from the grownups: very probably because you and your cohorts expect to rule that world.
I would rather not see that happen.
They threw very nice picnics, too.
I remember Democrat politicians who were honest, truthful, dedicated to the public which they served, all-around good guys.
Those were the days.
What happened? How did they become the party of puberty blockers, censorship, projection, and globalist hypocrisy? But then the ones I knew and worked with have probably all died out by now.
The Evil Party carries on without them.
How did we ever sink to this?
Kacklin’ Kamala and Tampon Tim–living proof that Democrats will vote for anybody, absolutely anybody, with a “D” after her name.
And the GOP, meanwhile, is infested with holier-than-thous who will only vote for The Righteous Candidate–some fringie who’ll be lucky to get 1% of the vote.
I think we’ve reached the point where we can genuinely wonder, “Is there no one that Democrats will refuse to vote for, once the Party nominates the villain?” How low is too low for Democrats?
It used not to be that way. My family was always Independent: always wanted to vote for the best candidate, no matter what the party. And we could find them in either party.
I was a reporter in the 1970s. I knew lots of good guys who happened to be Democrats.
There must be some left, somewhere. But durned if I know where to find them.
They love experimenting on other people’s children!
“Compelled speech” is blatantly unconstitutional, and should be challenged wherever it creeps out from the shadows.
In West Point, Virginia, the school board tried to force a teacher to say things, and pretend he believe things, that he knew to be untrue. So he took them to court and won a bundle.
This has to happen more often; and when it does, it should be the guilty parties on the school board who have to pay–not freakin’ everybody! A little personal responsibility might work wonders.
We never elected these dindles to run social experiments on our children–did we?
Felons out, dissenters in! Welcome to Democracy!
You will search the Constitution in vain for any mention of “democracy.” Our country’s founders feared democracy and took pains to protect us from it.
These days we hear the word “democracy” almost as often as we hear “iconic.” It is a vast display of hypocrisy, hopefully confined to this planet and not infecting the rest of the universe. We apply the term to jailing anyone who disagrees with the government and silencing free speech. That’s “democracy.”
And we are running out of chances to save ourselves from it.
(Wondering how he’ll ever pay back his student loan…)
I said it would be a good thing for America if there were fewer colleges and universities–and the Google brats hit the ceiling. WARNING! WARNING! RED-FLAG THIS ARTICLE ON NEWSWITHVIEWS!
My observation that college is for many a waste of time and money made me “dangerous” to The People. I will never match my father’s accomplishments, nor my mother’s–and neither of them ever spent a day in college.
I’ve been studying this for a long time, and my conclusion is simply stated:
College shrinks your brain.
Tampon Tim: “Yee-hee-hee, it’s so funny!”
Kacklin’ Kamala and Tampon Tim are laughing their butts off… and we don’t know why. Somehow I’m afraid it wouldn’t turn out to be funny.
Are they laughing at us? “Ho, ho, ho! Wait’ll they see what we do to their country! You think our borders are broken now? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
So the insane and sinister laughter is recast in the in-the-bag nooze media as some newly-discovered species of “joy.”
Here’s the truth: whatever is gonna make them happy is gonna make normal people sad.
