The Majority Of Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad For The U.S., Poll Shows

[Tancred]

I voted that colleges are good even though I think a lot of people who are currently going to college would probably be better off if they went to trade school and I also agree with some of the conservative critiques of the academy and the ideology behind some majors.

But I wonder, are conservatives making a mountain out of a molehill?  Most people are not majoring in gender studies and similar subjects. Majors like business, accounting and nursing are all significantly more popular. Even if students have to take "diversity" classes as requirements I assume most students just breeze through them and don't take them seriously.

You will always have campus radicals but I doubt they are even close to the majority on campus. Most students just want something to help them start a career after they graduate.
