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.

True. My parents fully hated me and my father actually dumped me at 20. They claimed they were cheated by Amherst College, that I'd been trained in cultural Marxism and they no longer could stand to be around me.
Amherst was a far right wing private school, if anything, they tricked me into attending.

@Stopmakingsense Amherst is listed with the top 25 most political universities in the country.Amherst College’s student body reports 82% political affiliation. While largely liberal and progressive, right wing students make their presence felt with the College Republicans.

I think I would get along with your Dad.

@Budwick not forty years ago. It didn't divest from South Africa until after I went.
It wasn't really coeducational, either then. Sorry that this web can't guarantee you know more than I about my life! Googling is how you win?
