And yet, they send their kids there so they can get good jobs- just like they ask their mistresses to get abortions, or blow other men in bathrooms or frivolously waste taxpayer money. I'm not sure why they haven't died of hypocrisy poisoning. Maybe being "fine people" white supremacists somehow inoculates them.

The educated have always been a threat to the uneducated. Look how the church kept down the educated for hundreds of years with the penalty of torture and death for those who disagreed with their dogma. It still goes on in much of the world like the ME.

Also, uneducated people feel threatened by educated people because education is associated with being smart. Trump got so many votes from the uneducated because he told them they were right and the liberals were wrong and he would change their policies and "put them in their place".

Why else would the evangelicals go for Trump? And look how much he has done for them.

Do you think people know better? I don't.

Did you see the poll that shows a majority of republicans think colleges and universities are bad for the country?

"A majority of polled Republicans say America's universities have a negative effect on the country, a trend driven by people without a college degree and indicative of the divide between the right and left.

A Pew Research Center poll showed nearly 60% of Republican and conservative-leaning independents view colleges as having a negative influence on America. Meanwhile, about three-quarters of Democrats and liberal independents say America's institutions of higher learning have a positive impact."
