Magnetaress, in no way am I knocking the university of hard knocks. Every human learns in their own way and you won't find an apologist for modern academia in me. The 'Evergreening' of the modern American Ivory Tower is not something good for anyone including those that are part of that movement. The Marcusian/Gramscian/Dutschke 'Long March thru the Institutions' is nearly complete in the academy and most Americans are clueless about that and its meaning.
I'm calling out Sadre's claim that the debates happening here on these forums are beneath anyone with what we call a K-12 education. Sadre is claiming that having a new styled k-12 education in place - especially if it came from an educational environment that doesn't pander to a Judea-Christian morality - will makes these debates mute and obsolete.
Sadre's perspective appears similar to anyone on the inside of modern academia. Others with different viewpoints are not welcome to challenge the paradigm. To have career success in an ivory tower setting it makes sense to virtue signal values everyone shares that you are on the 'right side of history' like other academics. Sadly this creates an echo chamber that others not caught up in needing to virtue signal at the academy can see through. This is much to the chagrin of folks like Sadre who have broken recorded themselves into a belief system they adopted from other colleagues merely to fit in.
