When you find yourself concerned that “STEM-ification” of education makes people wealthy based on skills alone without indoctrinating them in politics. Sounds like heaven to me.https://twitter.com/joshuamound/status/962790271284072449 …

hard disagree. half of higher education having been turned into a leftist political inculcation scheme doesn't make ideal the other half being a spiritless materialist jobs training program

As a STEM centered family, the fact that dems are grasping for power at the expense of our children is abhorrent. They don't need liberal profs or gender-queer studies to know that reading is beneficial, & a wider range of knowledge equals more opportunities/positive outcomes
