Sharp Partisan Divisions in Views of National Institutions

So, according to Republicans, banks and churches = good; labor unions, media, and colleges = bad.

And they're right.

Since when have banks ever been good? I can understand people thinking that about churches (although I strongly disagree), but banks and other financial institutions are truly, truly awful. Republicans seem to be embracing the worst institutions in our country, the ones that deliver absolutely nothing positive to society, while hating on two of the ones that at least try to do good.

I can't wait to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars so that my kid can go to a diploma mill and learn to hate me for being part of the white-male power structure.

So you'd prefer people to be stupid. Got it.

So you assume that a collage degree automatically equals intelligence?

I would bet that the vast majority of the time, anyone who graduates from a college/university would be "more intelligent" than someone who never attended at all.

See, I don't think that education is really the same ting as education, but I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

lol, you know what I meant to say.

I did, I did! But you know I couldn't pass up that opportunity.

Seriously though, I agree with you. Having a college degree doesn't equal intelligence. I'm quite certain that on average college graduates have a higher IQ than non-college graduates, but that still means there are plenty of grads who're less intelligent than non-grads (not to mention IQ isn't the most reliable indicator of intellectual capacity, let alone human worth). People seem to forget that even today, college is still generally a privilege and there are countless talented students who're unable to obtain a degree due to numerous factors, just as there are spoiled rich kids who show up and maintain a C average then graduate. America isn't a pure meritocracy (nor can I say that would be ideal, either).
