There's a difference between being critical of higher ed and being anti-intellectual / anti-science.
A lot of the skepticism of higher ed is precisely because they have not been doing a good job teaching science and critical thinking.
- darkwizard42 5y agoI think "a lot of the skepticism" is a VAST over estimate. Are you telling me that the anti-vaccine, anti-CRT (created a boogeyman out of nowhere btw), and various school boards revising how we should try to more objectively teach history/science are worried about higher ed being ineffective? I mean yes there is definitely criticism on higher ed and what value students are getting for the now extremely high price tag, but to say that this is what is the issue is definitely missing the point
