In a shift from a mere couple of years ago, when a majority of Republican-Americans thought that higher education was a good thing, the majority of them now believe the opposite.

A Pew Research Center survey published Monday revealed voters have grown apart in their support of secondary education since the 2016 presidential election season, when a majority of Democratic and Republican Americans agreed the nation’s universities serve as a benefit for the U.S. Whereas 54 percent of Republicans said "colleges and universities had a positive impact on the way things were going in the country" in 2015, the majority now believe the opposite, with 58 percent saying such institutions negatively impact the state of the union.

    The Nazis did that in the 1930's and look what it got them.

    A lower death count than the Soviets produced? Kinda bad either way, but I'll pick the lesser of two evils.

    I want none of the above. Can I have that? Where do I go to get that?

    You only care about the country in which everyone looks like you and talks like you. That is not America!

    Why are white people, and only white people, forbidden a homeland and a home country?

    Oh, FFS! Except for a few antediluvian holdovers pining for the good old days of the antebellum South, America was never intended to be a "White" nation. The nation was created on a set of political principles, not an ethnic/racial heritage. Hate to break it to you, but if you don't get that then you really aren't truly American.
