And implying so, letting young people believe there’s any good reason to forgo college, is not just bad advice, it’s borderline immoral , on par with denying the science of climate change.But it’s not just that Yang pushes down the value of college, it’s that his belief shows up in his policy proposals. Specifically, Yang proposes to “create an information database on all post-secondary education institutions” that will accumulate loan, employment and wage data.
It’s not clear how President Yang would “stipulate” such a thing. Nonetheless, tying education funding to wage gains belongs in the pantheon of bad ideas because it fails basic economics. But also because it, again, sets this idea that colleges would do better if someone yanked their funding chain. But foremost, it’s an awful idea because colleges don’t exist to do job training for business, they serve a different, better, higher purpose.
His campaign also promises to, “Immediately reduce the student loan payments for millions of Americans by ensuring that the American government does not profit one cent from its educational loan servicing.” But Yang is off again. Depending on how you count it, the federal government does not make a profit on its direct student loans. In fact, there’s general agreement that the program probably loses money in the long run.
He is gonna make some enemies along the road but I think he's picking up votes 1/4 margins. The left will feel attacked by yang sometimes and we just need to let them vent & then explain why there wrong, nicely. But it did sound like ur world view was attacked an u didn't like it
anybody who says higher education should equal vocational training should be immediately ejected from any policy-making dealing with higher ed. higher ed is a value onto itself. it is the pursuit of knowledge, ideas, innovation. if this is the truth of Mr.Yang, he lost me.
If public funding should go to any higher education, which I'm not sure it should, it should be spent exclusively on vocational schools.
You are the higher education writer expert? Your resume seems to say you’re more of a PR guy. You do realize AndrewYang has much more higher education experience than you and all his family is involved with higher education?AndrewYang is doing things right. Many hit jobs lately
The establishment is afraid. Good. YangGang
Because the current education system is designed to train people for jobs that won't exist in ten years 💁♀️.
The American education system has failed at the hands of democrats for *years*. Time for a serious change and education reform... seriously.
