Look at how liberal run education has resulted in the U.S. Dropping Out of the Top 10 in Innovation Ranking. You try to teach children that gender or race isn't defined by DNA and wonder why the rest of the world thinks you're anti science?

You have grades going up but standardized test results going down, ever more illiterate "graduates" even from universities and blame Republicans? Who is it who has the vast majority of (so called) teachers? Liberals, so utterly devoid of any sense of personal responsibility they'll blame every failure on someone else.

The "liberal" schools around me are doing fine. When you average the results of the New England states and other places that value education with states like MS and AL and others who don't want to spend money on their schools you get the poor results for the country we have. If you really look at the stats on school performance and quality of education you'd see it's the tightwad red states of the Bible Belt dragging the country's results down.

Colleges are no longer institutes of higher learning, but rather social justice clubs, and party central. I think one of the prerequisites to be in the top 10 is to NOT TEACH CHILDREN THAT THERE ARE 95 GENDERS

You call right-wingers anti-science but leftist icons like Bill Nye isn't a scientist, and Al Gore doesn't have a background in science.

Sure I'm an Aerospace Engineer working in the Defense Industry and most all of us are Republican or at least have a conservative bias. All of us are very well educated with the strongest science skills in the world. People in this country getting worthless degrees are mostly on the Left, getting degrees in Alternative gender studies or some other over rated degree.

They all copy us. Working in my industry, I watch the Chinese come out with their newest military Aircraft. No surprise they are using components that look just like what I was working on 10 years ago Half the time I'm thinking, good thing we don't use that crappy design anymore

Or, perhaps universities could cut out all the spending on gender / race / ethnic / sexuality studies and spend instead on research that would assist our defense efforts.

Yeah, the Left will agree to that!

It seems like to be tolerated by the left you have to be a liberal, atheist and globalist. But they are intolerant toward straight men and whites and American citizens too. I guess to be tolerated by the left you have to be a liberal, atheist, globalist, "person of color", gay and trans, immigrant from a s-hole country.
