    I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it’s demonized by them.

    I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn’t get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn’t be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

      Without the US dept of education, there are going to be no more grants or scholarships. Probably no student loans. Were going to see the absolute gutting of academia in the US and nobody is even aware of it.

      This, in part,is also the educated vs. the uneducated.

      Most of Trump’s policiet are obviously dumb when given a single thought, but you have to be able to make that throught. The vast majority of magas are not capable of making a first, let alone second, thought
