Biblebelts are a problem. They don't care if their children are getting a disease and probably die by it, they say: Don't inject my child. And they don't care at all if due to their opinion someone elses child dies.
To people who do so I would say: When your child dies, don't cry, it was by your hand because you refused the medical attention that was offered you. So due to your decission, your kid is dead, you're a murderer.

"Diversity commissars denounce meritocratic standards as discriminatory, enforce hiring quotas, and teach students and adults alike to think of themselves as perpetual victims"
I don't see how this prepares students to earn a living, or in any way alleviates the indentured servitude racket known as "student debt." If anything, it's another reason to stay away from "higher education."
This wouldn't happen in the old system of making it on merit. When the point of the education was to educate as opposed to sell a diploma, the standards were better maintained when university was paid for you providing you were any good.
And that's what we have to do. To build an alliance between the kids at trade school and the kids who warrant being at university against the kids of inflated mediocrity, and you do this by going against the system of debt in favour of a system of grants. There must be no way for the average man to borrow money and enter university but every brilliant child gets in for free, the intelligent have to outnumber the average in advanced education or it won't be an education.
