Survey: Students Are Ashamed Of Being American After College Education

Liberals will generally deny that 'higher education' schools are simply paid indoctrination camps. But, this survey provides some valuable insight.

College students are cultivating an increasingly pessimistic view of the United States and their futures as their national pride deteriorates in university classrooms across the nation, a newly published American College Student Freedom, Progress and Flourishing Survey confirms.

More than half of self-identified liberal students say they have developed a more negative view of the United States as a result of their higher education curriculum, while nearly one-third of students who identified as conservative shared their growing pessimism about America, according to the annual college student survey.

Political ideology significantly impacts students’ national pride.

While 52 percent of students say they are proud to be American, most of the patriotic students are conservative.

“A majority of conservative students (86 percent) are proud to be American compared to 38 percent of those who identify as liberal students and 59 percent of self-identified independents,” the survey notes.

Conservative students are significantly less inclined to accept the paradigm about American presented in the classroom. Eighty-one percent of liberal students say “college is giving them a more accurate picture of the U.S.” while “only 44 percent of conservative students” trust what they are being told about America.

It is all part of the race to the bottom caused by liberals. It started with the colleges but at least there some people making it to higher education had the sense to see through it, I know I did and dropped those classes taught by overly liberal teachers. But today you can hardly get away from it and you are deemed politically incorrect if you try.

What has really made the difference is the filtering down of indoctrination in our grade schools teaching things like critical race theory which is more about shaming kids for being white Americans than objective lessons from history and civics.

@Johnson212 and if you point out the state of people you know who have been taken in by this crap, they just pretend ‘that’s a strawman. That’s just a fringe’ because no one could ever on the left could ever possibly do something wrong, it’s holy doctrine. I personally know MANY people who fit the obese neck beard soy boy who do appear to have no internal monologue and just parrot whatever they are told to think. Even to the point that they’ve claimed one thing to support a narrative, and less than five minutes later they claim the exact diametric opposite is true when it supports the their doctrine. I don’t like to but I now just have to flat out block people. They aren’t doing this in good faith. They know they are acting this way because they don’t have the intelligence, attention span or confidence to actually work out things and do things for themselves. But they want to feel superior so have some label to mock you over, make up some strawman, deny reality and then accuse you of doing it. And the funny thing is whilst they accuse anyone they don’t like of being a basement dwelling troll, none of them would dare come out with the crap they say in an in person, professionally moderated debate. Or even in person at all because they know they don’t understand the topic but still want to feel they do so resort to name calling. The one time I decided ‘right, let’s have a phone call so we can discuss this properly’ so I called her and made my point. She would constantly pause after she couldn’t disprove what I said, and try to ruin the flow by finding unrelated things to complain about ‘your laugh is annoying, you are only dating outside of your race so I can’t use the racist card’.

@pianoplayingsteve You might be surprised. Historically, I have been far more outspoken face to face than in online debate.

@SW-User I’m sure you may be, as am I. Yet I know quite a few people who would not say anything to me in person,but then over Facebook ‘you want to kill the disabled and poor people and you want to get rid of our socialised medicine’. What was it he was responding to? Me saying ‘branded drink is cheaper’. Because some people literally want adult life to be like their childhood where their parents would pay for all the essentials and they frivolously spend the money from their part time job on consuming like it’s your birthday. But every day, and the government is mummy and daddy

@pianoplayingsteve Higher taxes are never the answer.

@SW-User we agree there. I sell wholesale. I only make a small amount and people get stuff cheap and I get to build up a bit of savings. But then our government decided to tax 20% on anything bought from overseas. On top of the 20% taxed when I sell. Wealth was literally being redistributed and people getting things they needed cheaper before this socialist tax came to save the day, it creates the very problem it pretends to solve, and then because items cost more and you have less because if socialism, you need more socialism to save the day yay. This could all literally be solved if people were willing to take responsibility for their finances. But they’d rather drag the whole nation down

@pianoplayingsteve This really isn't about people who are unwilling to pay their own bills. It is really about rich politicians using the poor as an excuse to push their socialist agenda on us.

I’m glad that you agree that socialism is pushed by the rich to make them richer @SW-User
