Josh Hawley\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n<p>But watch \u2063the whole clip and you\u2019ll notice something funny: GOP digs aside, Maher\u2019s rant could have come\u2064 straight\u200d from a conservative at any point over the past three decades.<\/p>\n<p>So liberals may now only be realizing the extent\u2064 of the damage that America\u2019s educational institutions are wreaking \u200con <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/senator-reads-filthy-gender-queer-book-found-schools-author-confirms-never-meant-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">young \u2063minds<\/a>, but conservatives have been sounding the \u200balarm for years now.<\/p>\n<p>The slippery slope of \u201cgender queer identity \u200dpolitics\u201d being given the same educational recognizance as, \u2063say, architecture or engineering, was readily apparent to anyone whose head wasn\u2019t already buried deep \u200bin leftist sand.<\/p>\n<p>Which raises the somewhat ominous question: What\u2019s next for American colleges?<\/p>\n<p>Because if conservatives and liberals are all seeing \u2063the follies of the \u2064current college system, is it really sustainable with nothing but leftists?<\/p>\n<p>The answer, according to a March <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/03\/09\/american-skipping-college-huge-numbers-pandemic-turned-them-off-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Fortune magazine, is a \u2062resounding \u201cno,\u201d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-maher-has-one-piece-of-advice-for-americas-youth-dont-go-to-college\/\" title=\"Bill Maher's Advice to American Youth: Skip College\">undergraduate college\u200d enrollment dropped 8 percent<\/a> from 2019 to 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe\u200c slide in the college-going rate since 2018 is\u2064 the steepest on record, according\u200d to the U.S.\u200b Bureau of Labor\u2063 Statistics,\u201d the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>Americans may \u200cactually be watching the real-time demise of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/attacks-intercepted-us-destroyer-much-significant-navy-previously-admitted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">college system<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Dwindling attendance and even faster-plummeting approval ratings all\u200d across the ideological\u2062 spectrum will do that.<\/p>\n<p>But given\u2062 everything we\u2019ve seen, and that Maher has been calling \u2064out,\u2062 lately it\u2019s hard to say anything of value will \u2062actually be lost\u2063 if the whole\u200c thing does collapse on itself under the\u200c weight of far-left foolishness.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"author_subscription_pitch\">.author_subscription_pitch \u2064p{margin:5px;}<\/p>\n<p><em><b>A Note\u2063 from Our Staff:<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Did you know that 90 percent of advertisers will have nothing to do with The Western Journal?

This can lead to misconceptions, stereotypes, and biases against marginalized communities, including Jews. Lack of knowledge\u200c about the pre-war \u2063years in Germany,\u2063 for example, can prevent individuals from fully grasping\u2064 the context and complexities of anti-Semitism, allowing for the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and scapegoating.<\/p>\n<p>2. \u200dAbsence of historic patterns\u2064 and warning signs: \u2063Excluding certain chapters of\u2063 history obscures the \u200cpatterns and warning signs that led\u200c to past atrocities. Understanding the \u200bcircumstances and events that led to the Holocaust \u2064is crucial\u200d in\u2064 recognizing similar patterns in contemporary times. \u200bBy excluding the pre-war years in Germany, people may be\u200d unaware of the gradual process of discrimination and\u200c persecution, thus leaving marginalized communities\u2064 vulnerable to violence and assault.<\/p>\n<p>3. Normalization\u200d of hateful ideologies: When certain chapters of history are ignored or downplayed, the ideas and \u200dideologies\u200d that fueled \u2062hatred and discrimination can \u200cgo unchallenged. By excluding \u200bthe pre-war years\u2063 in Germany, \u200cthe propagation of anti-Semitic\u200c rhetoric and the gradual \u200cdehumanization of Jews may be downplayed or overlooked.\u200c This can result in \u2063the normalization\u2062 of hateful ideologies, making it easier for marginalized communities \u200dto be \u200cscapegoated and targeted.<\/p>\n<p>4. Failure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-top-u-s-general-hamas-terror-attack-on-israel-far-worse-than-9-11\/\" title=\"Ex-U.S. General: Hamas' Attack on Israel Worse Than 9\/11\">prevent future atrocities<\/a>: The exclusion of history\u200d can\u200b hinder\u200c efforts to prevent similar atrocities \u200bfrom occurring in \u200cthe \u200cfuture. By understanding the \u2062events and\u200b circumstances that led to the assault and \u2062marginalization of Jewish communities, society can work towards creating a more inclusive and tolerant environment. Excluding important \u200dchapters of history can impede this \u200dprocess \u2062and perpetuate the cycle of discrimination\u200c and violence.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the exclusion of certain chapters of history, like the pre-war years \u2062in Germany, has contributed to\u2063 the\u200c scapegoating and assault of marginalized communities, specifically Jews, by fostering ignorance, normalizing hateful ideologies, obscuring warning signs, and \u200chindering efforts to prevent future atrocities. It is crucial to acknowledge and \u2064learn from\u2063 all \u200caspects \u200bof history to promote tolerance, understanding, and\u200d the protection \u200bof \u2062marginalized communities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even a broken liberal is right twice a day, or so the saying goes.
