I read your article, and it seems like the primary thesis is that large institutions (primarily universities) act as a sheltering mechanism for leftist radicals who promote violent social change.
I’m not assuming you wrote the article, but I want to ask to try to gain insight. If this is true, why is it that business institutions, that have a lot to lose from social upheavals, require 4-year degrees for professional positions, from these leftist institutions?
- imwillofficial 5y agoPossibly as a hold over from a time when a degree carried more weight.

- SyzygistSix 5y agoBecause those institutions have changed a whole lot. The Birth of a New American Aristocracy: https://outline.com/4BXcWS https://outline.com/4BXcWS
- vegetablepotpie 5y agoI read THAT article, and found that it neither affirms, nor refutes the claim that universities shelter violent revolutionaries. The thing it says about education is that it’s harder to get into a college now than before. That is a change, but it can occur with or without also acting as a retirement home for “the shock troops” that was mentioned in GPs article.
