My engineering program contributed to me becoming a communist, does it need defunded too?

Seriously, being taught to explain to bosses the financial cost of employee suffering and that they won’t listen otherwise was a radicalizing experience.

Edit: read it and holy fuck German literature and anthropology are on the list wow.

Also, Mississippi, idk how to break it to you, you don’t need to fund education less, that’s the exact opposite of what literally every other state thinks you need to do. You’re not the liberal indoctrination in college state, you’re the “barely has an education system” state

I don't think uni shaped my political/economic views that much, at least at the time. However, my school has a bit of a rep for not being big on politics. The real world made me much more leftwing.

During college, I was a free market ~~advocate~~ apologist. Since graduating, I've been getting more and more leftwing and haven't looked back

On a related note, I have no idea how one could live through the covid era and not become more left as a result
