Is university really such a good thing? I spent three years learning to be a Trot

By PETER HITCHENS(http://www.dailymail.co.uk)

What are universities for anyway? I went to one and spent the whole time being a Trotsky­ist troublemaker at the taxpayers’ expense, completely neglecting my course. I have learned a thousand times more during my 30-year remed­ial course in the University of Fleet Street, still under way.

I am still ashamed of the way I lived off the taxes of millions of people who would have loved three years free from the demands of work, to think and to learn, but never had the chance.

We seem to accept without question that it is a good thing that the young should go through this dubious experience. Worse, employers seem to have fallen completely for the idea that a university degree is essential – when it is often a handicap.

For many people, college is a corrupting, demoralising experience. They imagine they are independent when they are in fact parasites, living off their parents or off others and these days often doomed to return home with a sense of grievance and no job. They also become used to being in debt – a state that previous generations rightly regarded with horror and fear.

And they pass through the nasty, sordid rite of passage known as ‘Freshers’ Week’, in which they are encouraged to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol and to lose what’s left of their sexual inhibitions after the creepy sex educators have got at them at school.

If they have learned self-disciplined habits of work and life, they are under pressure to forget all about them, suddenly left alone in a world almost completely stripped of authority.

And if they are being taught an arts subject, they will find that their courses are crammed with anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-traditional material. Proper literature
is despised and ‘deconstructed’.

Our enviable national history is likewise questioned, though nothing good is put in its place. Even if they are study­ing something serious, their whole lives will be dominated by assumptions of political correctness, down to notices in the bars warning against ‘homophobia’ and other thought crimes.

I think this debauching of the minds and bodies of the young is more or less deliberate.

The horrible liberal Woodrow Wilson, who eventually became President of the United States, was originally an academic who once blurted out the truth as seen by many such people. He said in a rare moment of candour: ‘Our aim is to turn out young men as unlike their fathers as possible.’

Well, look at the modern world as governed by graduates who despise their fathers’ views, and what do you see?

Idealist wars that slaughter millions, the vast corruption of the welfare state, the war on the married family – and in this country the almost total disappearance of proper manufacturing industry.

Rather than putting an entire generation in debt, the time has come to close most of our universities and shrink the rest so they do what they are supposed to do – educating an elite in the best that has ever been written, thought and said, and undertaking real hard scientific research.

Or do these places exist only to hide the terrible youth unemploy­ment that is a result of having a country run by graduates?

University is a conformity breeding centre. As well as a recruiting ground for governmental/chivalric societies

On supposedly the 'best' history course in the Lancaster, UK from 2002-2005, I learned first hand exactly how closed minded institutionalised education is when I tried to write a dissertation on Velikovsky's theories on a revisionist slant on Ramses and Akhenaton and was basically told "no, you will study what we tell you"

The worst thing about university is that it breeds the worst kind of self important asshole, who's answer to everything is "well I learned it at university so it must be true" Univerisites are a closed environment and those people who've spent a lifetime there before continuing on as professors or lecturers rarely have their views consistenly analysed, as university peer review is more of a personality contest/fight for funding than it is a serious review of theory

And they breed political partisanship like nothing else, It took me a good 3 years out of university before I began to realise how ludicrous partisanship was, and how it contributes to the instability in society by creating nothing more than misinformed mobs on both sides.
Fucking moronic quasi liberals with their che guevara t-shirts battleing right wing preps wearing purity rings and espousing Regan. It's literally a more intense version of high school, only it's worse because by the end of high school most people are aware of how pointless the experience was, by the end of university, most students beleive they've actually learned something, and unless they've been tapped by 'skull and bones' or the like, it takes them the next 5 years to deprogramme the idealist bullshit they've been eating up.

South Park 9x02: Die, Hippie, Die explains my opinions on the subject perfectly within about 2 minutes.
