Real Time With Bill Maher: 'New Rule: Don't Go To College'

Source:Real Time With Bill Maher- going after illiberal (not liberal) education in America.

"In his editorial New Rule, Bill warns that college life has become a day spa combined with a North Korean reeducation camp, where students are indoctrinated into a stew of bad ideas." 

From Real Time With Bill Maher

I'm just glad that Bill Maher called these Ivy League schools (which is another way of saying Communist training camps) illiberal, (which means not liberal) because that's exactly what they are. 

A real liberal education is: 

"The American Association for the Advancement of Science describes a liberal education in this way: "Ideally, a liberal education produces persons who are open-minded and free from provincialism, dogma, preconception, and ideology; conscious of their opinions and judgments; reflective of their actions; and aware of their place in the social and natural worlds."[4] Liberally educated people are skeptical of their own traditions; they are trained to think for themselves rather than conform to higher authorities.[5]

It also cultivates "active citizenship" through off-campus community service, internships, research, and study abroad.[6] Some faculty see this movement towards "civic engagement" as more pedagogically powerful than traditional classroom teaching, but opponents argue that the education occurring within an academic institution must be purely intellectual and scholarly.[7]

A liberal education combines an education in the classics, literature, the humanities, moral virtues, and others... 

From Wikipedia 

To put all of this in English: with a liberal education, you are taught how to think and how to obtain facts and information. You are not taught what to think, but instead taught about the important facts and subjects, including history (a word that young people today might not even be able to spell, let alone define) but you are not taught to think what those facts mean. You are instead given the freedom to think for yourself. 

If you are someone like me or are older, (and I'm a gen-xer) you are least remember the last 10-15 years of the Cold War. I only mention that because during the American-Russian Cold War we got to hear about Communist indoctrination camps, where people were grabbed up like Russia, China, North Korea, and other Communist states during the Cold War and taught not just how to think and what to think. Like America and it's western, democratic, developed, allies being the real Evil Empire and not the Soviet Union. They were taught how to be Communists and learned about the opposites being the real facts in life. 

I'm not calling all Ivy League and other elite Northeast and West Coast college professors Communists, for the simple fact that I believe a lot of them are just professional bullshitters, who don't believe most of their propaganda. Who think that it's cool to talk down to America, especially when they're with young people and believe teaching people the opposites of life, makes them cool. And they teach their students that: 

capitalism is racist 

personal freedom is dangerous

free speech is bigoted 

America is the real Evil Empire and terrorist state

liberal democracy is the real threat to world peace 

and today the Jewish State of Israel is the real terrorist state and that Hamas are simply just freedom fighters (hard to say that without laughing) who are simply trying to kick out the illegal invaders, meaning the Israeli Jews. 

The reason why I call these elite universities professional bullshitters, it's not just they don't believe a lot of what they actually teach and say. While they're putting America and it's allies down, they're living the good life in America, loving their personal and economic wealth, taking advantage of every tax break that they can get, and there isn't another country in the world where they rather live. 

If you are going to send your kids to college, send them somewhere where they're taught the facts of life and how to think. Not left-wing or right-wing propaganda. Send them to a school where they're free to think and act of themselves and not taught that they have to be part of some larger collective, to live a good, moral, life.
