Here we go, from the left......the "Thought Police" are HERE...!!!!!

I taught at a vocational career tech school for 38 years, while most of us was hired straight from the field we taught there were a few with several degrees long as my arm.

We found that the more educated by liberal teachers and liberal books they had, the dumber they actually were. now back then there wasn't many liberals here. Also found most of them had no common sense, they knew everything that a book told them but actually being able to do it was a totally different thing.

Now i'm not saying all highly educated people are this way but at our school and a couple others i dealt with, most of them were. but most everyone at my school were taught by working in the field they taught, not some book telling them how.

You're actually talking about two different phenomenon, both of which have one underlying facet. An inordinate percentage of "Educated" people begin to believe they are smarter and better than everyone who isn't. This of course leads to things like the girl at my work who has a BA in engineering, but was indignant when I told her we couldn't bore in a 4" main under the Metro-Link tracks in downtown STL. Especially when there was a 8" supply feeder available directly across the street ( this was Ballpark Village, the site of the old Busch Stadium).

The other issue is the brainwashing of students by liberal professors.
 
A related story. A little background. The engineers at my work are generally low paid for their field. Most of them come there, work for 5 years, get their education paid for, get a nice bit of experience for their resume and then move on. On the other hand guys like me generally do pretty well.
So when I was doing this Ballpark Village job, which just happens to be directly across the street from my company's building downtown, I was standing in the street by a crosswalk smoking a cigarette and a group of our engineers come by with their nice shoes and badges on their lapels. One of them looks at me and says, " How does it feel to be working up here this close to the engineers ?" I replied, " I don't know, how does it feel to know I made twice as much money as you did last year ?" F'in D-bag.
 
I feel so much better knowing professors like this populate higher education. Do you realize that if Lefty professors were banned, there would be maybe 3% of them remaining? For some reason, people wonder why America is in decline. They can't put two and two together let alone figure out the answer.

You have teachers now with no real world experience teaching our kids how it is and should be. they don't know how it is or should be. only what the books tell them. Well, that and CNN. A persons politics and religion should not be enforced on the class they teach. teach the subject and leave the personal feelings at home.

Thank goodness i had no liberal teachers growing up. and being a liberal is fine, just don't push your agenda on your class. and they do now.

Love it!
We had a "care and treatment" worker, that was working on getting her B.A. to be a social worker, question if a fellow guard if he had someone else write his report, because it was too "articulate" to have been written by a guard. The guard in question was livid as he had a master's degree in some obscure vocation that he couldn't get a job in, so we worked as a prison guard right along with the rest of us.
I always smiled and reminded them that "I'm fat, old, slow, with bad knees. Remember that when you're getting the :poop: kicked out of you, I'm coming as fast as motivation allows.";) Of course I wouldn't. People that I would cheerfully shove down an elevator shaft on the outside, I would give it my all to help inside the wire, But they don't have to know that.

I had one professor in college who I knew was a liberal. He was my poli-sci teacher and I also chose him for my guidance counselor. Him and I spent the majority of our classes arguing points back and forth ( I have been conservative as long as I've been aware politically). He was a nice guy though and not at all like the left of today.

I also had a history professor who was a lefty, but I only knew that because he campaigned for Jay Nixon. But then, years later Nixon became one of very few democrats I actually voted for. He grew up near here and was generally pro-gun. As state AG he also forced the city of STL to issue CCW permits ( which he was actually opposed to CCW) because it was the law and the city was refusing to do it. Anyway this professor was friends with him and clearly a democrat, but he didn't interject politics into his classes.
 
I don't care about degrees at all. If you don't have practical experience you know nothing. Also if you don't know or lack common sense you are untrainable in my mind and have no business trying to train or teach someone else.

which was my biggest gripe with my 1st trade, auto mechanics.

i was working from the pits, to the lifts, from grimy greasy work clothes, to clean uniforms and weekly washed garage floors.

then came along that ASE....i had several years experience, enough to "meet" the testing standards.

i passed several tests, and had to "right to wear the ASE shoulder patch"

then came along thier program to test vocational and tech school students...and they passed, WITHOUT the required hands on experience, that i went thru.

that was yet another reason to get out of the repair business and into trucking...

no ground up work experience, only "book smarts".......kinda cheaped the auto repair trade from that day on for me.
 
A person with 180iq crosses the street and gets hit by a bus, because of not being smart enough to look before crossing. Smarts can only get you so far!

My kids were at a birthday party at a park for 1 of their 1st grade friends. While there the dad of the son and his wife's BIL (both are college educated, 1 having a degree in IT and the other in more than 1 degree) was cooking hd's and hb's on the grill. Wind was blowing the smoke in their faces as they both try and figure out how to solve the problem for it not to. I sat and watched their wheels turn. After 10 minutes I went over and rotated the grill so the wind was at their backs. The park grill was on a single piece of vertical pipe. Some people? Some have book smarts and others are more real world savvy. I'm not the book smart person and glad for it!
 
"Political Correctness". Its been around since the 80s. Control what people can say and you control what they think. :poop:

I once dated a woman who had 2 PHDs. Poor girl was dumb as a box of rocks. :rolleyes:

When I worked for the city, every once in a while somebody would need a special project built. City engineers would make up a set of plans and send it down to the shop for us to build. We'd look over the plans, see what needed to be done, then throw them away and build something that would actually work. ;)
