Report shows ‘educated’ Democrats more accepting of political violence
People who spend more time in these institutions getting advanced degrees are more prone to adopting leftist views, including the use of violence to achieve their ends
Americans have been told that education in and of itself is the solution to the nation’s problems. The more education citizens get, the better the outcome — supposedly.
That might have had a grain of truth if education at all levels had not been hijacked by ideologues intent on indoctrinating youth into adopting their left-wing agendas.
Recent research indicates, however, that ‘highly educated’ people like the activist accused of trying to assassinate President Trump on April 30 are more likely to embrace political violence.
A recent report by the Skeptic Research Center found that people who hold graduate degrees are about twice as likely to say that “violence is often necessary to create social change” compared with those who have completed lower-level college degrees or opted out of higher education altogether, the Daily Caller reported.
Among those with a high school diploma or less, only 23% say that political violence can be justified. About 20% who have completed some college or obtained an associate’s degree say the same. The figure was slightly higher for those with a bachelor’s degree, with 26% agreeing with the statement. However, among master’s degree graduates, 40% said violence could be justified to enact social change.
Colleges are rife with Marxist nonsense masquerading as enlightenment. It should be no surprise that, overall, people who spend more time in these institutions getting advanced degrees are more prone to adopting leftist views, including the use of violence to achieve their ends.
USPIE’s groundbreaking report, ‘Are Government School Redeemable?’ reveals that education departments in most colleges and universities are steeped in leftist ideology. Because of this, a nihilistic mindset has permeated all fields of study, even computer science. If we’re to survive and thrive as a peaceful republic, we must reform the U.S. higher education system.
In the meantime, parents, here’s our advice: Find a genuinely non-woke college, or send your kids to a good trade school or directly into the job market where they’ll get real education and experience!
