Pew: Most Republicans View Higher Education as Bad for America
Comparatively, 72 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents say higher education has a positive impact on the country. Fifty-five percent of the general population was also found to think positively of higher education.

When you say 'Republicans' you mean US Conservatives. We've talked before about the differences between political conservatives and political liberals - so I'll try and dig a link out later.

Contemporary conservatism is decidedly anti-intellectual. It's all part of the 'you can't tell me my opinion is wrong' story that conservatism often elevates to the level of an expertise.

I not infrequently picture myself with a baseball bat in hand, casually caving in the skulls of "people" like that. I'm starting to think I might need electro-shock therapy or something. It's starting to feel decidedly like 'skull caving-in' time a lot more around here... :?

The question was about the impact of colleges and universities, not the impact of education.

Hermit, still, it's Jesus, abortion and atheism that they worry about. Universities represent all that they hate. Above all, change.

Exactly. Not education as such.

I bet 42 is wholeheartedly in favour of education even while he farts post after post about the pernicious influence of universities and colleges.

Yes, of course it has to be the "right" (in more ways than one) education, but there's plenty of that to be had in the arts faculties of our august institutions of higher learning. Even in the departments that are often branded as breeding grounds of the revolting classes, such as philosophy, Eng.Lit., economics, sociology, history, media studies,... I hope you realise that both Keith Windshuttle and Andrew Bolt have BA degrees, and they are just two of many right wing hacks who have gone through the Arts Mill.

It's all part of the secret Marxist disinformation reverse-psychology campaign. Tricksy Marxists.. :nono:

In the past 48 years of politics, we had 20 years of Democrats and 28 years of Republicans as presidents. Those politics include criminal activities and convictions:
GOP 209
DEM 4
