Australia's conservative government announced plans Friday to double university fees for humanities students, in a bid to push people into more useful, "job-relevant" courses like maths and science.
Under the proposal—which critics panned as an "ideological assault"—the cost of degrees like history or cultural studies will rise up to 113 percent to around US$29,000, while other courses such as nursing and information technology will become cheaper.
Education Minister Dan Tehan—an arts graduate with two advanced degrees in international relations—said the government wanted to corral young people towards "jobs of the future" to boost the country's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
"If you are wanting to do philosophy, which will be great for your critical thinking, also think about doing IT," Tehan said.
The plan would help pay for an additional 39,000 university places by 2023 and for cost cuts for courses like science, agriculture, maths and languages.
[...] "I'm an arts graduate and so is the minister for education so I'm not sure you can draw the conclusion that we're completely unemployable," said opposition lawmaker Tanya Plibersek.

It's not "people telling black kids they'll never make it." Maybe in the past teachers may have done, that but not anymore. Now, they are coddled and the whole class is held back for them. It's their own goddamn people who tell them that learning is being an Uncle Tom. It's their inferior culture and intellect that holds them back. The ones that succeed are the ones who are smart enough to realize that White culture is superior, in this respect at least, and adopt it, despite the flak they catch from their own.
Are you really so ignorant, or you just prefer the anti-white lie?
