Poll:most republicans say colleges have negative impact on US

[Trill Clinton]

A majority of Republicans in a new survey think colleges and universities have a negative effect on the U.S.

The Pew Research Center poll finds 58 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents think colleges and universities hurt the country.

Just 36 percent of Republicans think they have a positive effect.

In contrast, a large majority of Democrats, 72 percent, say colleges and universities have a positive effect on the country.
Overall, slightly more than half of the public, 55 percent, thinks colleges and universities help the U.S., according to the survey.

higher education is harmful and science is phony and a get rich quick scheme

[Spurminator]

I could see that if your argument had to do with the crippling debt that it leaves most college graduates with but I suspect these results tie more to the perception that kids are going off to college and gettin' a buncha librul ideas in them heads, SJW's, Antifa, etc.

Liberal brainwashing ins utions the lot of them.

To the extent they are turning out thoughtful people who will become productive citizens, they are good for the country. To the extent they are turning out adult children with no marketable skills and large student debt, they are harmful.

Well, they can't force students to major in the SJW arts, but they do offer such ty fields of study.

[pgardn]

Yes.

A bit much.

What percent of college degrees would you estimate fall into the "SJW arts" category?

but ben shapiro said lesbian dance theory majors are ruining education

[Adam Lambert]

good, republicans should just keep their kids out of college.

[baseline bum]

They really are the party of Trump

[Adam Lambert]

or maybe republicans can support capitalism by only sending kids to for-profit schools and leaving the hippie liberal state schools and private schools to the sjws.

[spurraider21]

[DarrinS]

What percent of college degrees would you estimate fall into the "SJW arts" category?

Ideally < 10%

[spurraider21]

Ideally < 10%

what about in reality?

Colleges are the devil

[Warlord23]

Yeah, the evil researchers and scientists occupying colleges have always been scheming against real Americans. Like how they all coordinated with each other across continents to come up with the climate change hoax - thankfully a bunch of courageous billionaires and selfless oil companies are thwarting their plan.

Can you provide the link again? That one is flakey. I'd like to examine the survey.

I don't suspect anything at this point. It's an opinion piece based off of an unlinked survey/poll. I'm glad it's a Pew poll tho. Those guys are pretty straight ahead.
