This story was being discussed this morning on WPLJ, a radio station in the New York Metro area. One of the DJ’s, Todd Pettengill, criticized college as “indoctrination” and suggested that trade school was a better alternative. I was actually surprised to hear this coming from a radio station in such a blue region.
It was very small, but I see this as a positive sign. If the lid doesn’t get blown off higher education, then at least maybe middle class parents will second guess sending their kids to college. Or, perhaps there will be declining enrollment for the Humanities and Social Sciences. “No, Jane, we are not blowing our retirement savings for you to major in Gender Studies.”
I’ve heard the notion of universities as indoctrination camps, but this is mostly from right-leaning news - Tucker Carlson is the most “mainstream” of them. This radio station reaches a wider population in a mostly blue region.
