    Of course he would. Funding Trade Schools at the expense of universities gives him a population of skilled manual labourers who have never learned critical thinking, history, or social policy.

    A Trade School teaching one thing and one thing well, priding itself on “cutting out” all the rest of what they think of as unnecessary nonsense. And you will never change my mind that THAT is a major contributing factor to the dumbing down of the current electorate. The Greeks considered the Liberal Arts necessary for the public to be able to effectively contribute to the political discourse.

    But that doesn’t suit conservative purposes.
