Happy Monday! Your existence brings a light into the world like no other. Please keep that light shining!
I have for the most part not waded in on the Charlie Kirk killing last week. Not much to say, other than it is further proof of the fact that we are in the middle of a war that has no defined battle lines.
It is a war of the mind and a war of words for the soul of the world. But needless to say, the war of words has again become kinetic.
For my part, I feel that the most important lesson that Charlie Kirk was in regard to getting a college education. Charlie did not go to college and prided himself for it.
As a parent of 10, I have not been in a position to send my kids to college. When i went to school in the second half of the 1980’s, I attended a California State School. Tuition for the 4 1/2 years to attend totaled less than $4000. We paid more for my room and board. But not that much more. My sisters went to more expensive schools after me. They went to UC schools and their tuition was about 4 times what I paid.
Now understand that California heavily subsidizes their colleges and universities. But the comparison to now is mind blowing.
I am now in Pennsylvania. The cost of a 2-year Junior College is close to $15,000. 4 year public school run from $18-30 K per year. And this is completely out of the range of most people.
Obscene is the cost of private institutions. I have a daughter who received a full ride to an out of state Private University. The cost for that was over $400,000. Much more than the cost of my house.
Forgetting the Financial side
As a financial decision, I can no longer see the value in higher education. At least as far as the product that is being offered in our University system. And what is funny is the I am not the only one who feels this way – not that anyone in the mainstream would dare to mention it.
Thia Gallup poll leaves a whole lot out of the equation – like any of the context behind their questions. But it very much indicates that people do not see the value of Universities in America.
Now let’s just list a few of the reasons that this might be:
- high cost of tuition
- Possibility of not finishing
- High school no longer prepares students for that level of education (a third of college freshmen drop out in the first year)
- No jobs available for graduates
- Jobs not making the rate “promised” by people with a degree
- Core requirements pointless (from Underwater basket weaving to Asian-Trans studies classes)
- College loan debt
- politics
These are a few. For a more comprehensive list, check out this article:

This also seems like a site to sell a self-directed education system by Praxis. I did not look at it, but I will be.
The connection with this and Charlie Kirk is that he often would encounter students trying to debunk him by claiming that he did not have the pedigree to argue with him. I would answer the words from another pundit (Andrew Wilkow) that their degree does not trump the strength of the argument.
It takes more than a degree to be educated. And it is up to all of us to educate ourselves when we are wading into deep waters with people who know about a subject.
Just a few thoughts. I believe our education system is broken. What is worse is that I believe that this has been an intentional effort by forces who are not looking for educated people, but compliant people.
Remember that and pay attention!
