[quote=Anonymous]They aim to dismantle education--eliminate government public schooling, eliminate child labor laws, and more. See below a post from another web forum, puts it into words better than I can;

Remember: Public colleges and universities were created to allow people who weren't rich the chance to get a college education. It's supposed to be accessible. Public colleges are NOT supposed to be expensive. That's counter to their very existence. And it doesn't have to be. States could decide to put more money into education.

But so many of them refuse. And we have to be very clear on that. This is a refusal to support public universities more, not just some wacky thing that happened over the years. This isn't an accident. As I keep telling y'all, the GQP wants public education to fail. That's K through college. All that youthful vigor could be at work making companies richer, and definitely not wasted on getting broad knowledge and honing their critical thinking skills.

Power and wealth can be consolidated so much more easily without a large middle-class, and without all these people who can more easily peep their game because they have the same amount of education.

It's not a conspiracy, either: The GQP wants authoritarian government and a poor, trapped work force. They're not operating in secret.

So yes, for a lot of people college costs so much that they feel like they can't risk it. I totally understand that. But let's not just assume that it's just the way things are. Politicians are making decisions every day to keep college out of reach.[/quote]
