It’s a meme that colleges and universities brainwash kids into adopting liberal mindsets, but pretty much all conservative thinkers have benefited from college education and structure. Any pronouncements of the meme are just for political gain.
The truth is, those behind the attacks on higher education came from higher education. The vast majority of the politicians and pundits who appear on your television screens trying to convince you that a college education will brainwash your children into hating America have a very good college education themselves. They wouldn’t for a minute dream of allowing their kids to skip college. It is on those campuses where they first learned how our political systems and our political identities work. And it’s on campuses where they learn that those systems and identities can be used to consolidate political power for those who are willing to play on the base racist and sexist fears of white men and of those who benefit from their proximity to white men. — Mediocre, pg 88
