Marjorie Taylor Greene warns young adults about the pitfalls of college that ruined her (video).
Did she have her thumb over the lens?
It’s easily done, I’ve done it myself.

I went to the very woke Purdue University and had my mind and soul completely ruined, to the extent that I think this woman is full of shit.

'Keep 'em stupid & keep ‘em scared’…
Since she has neither, how would she know?
Pretty sure she was ruined long before she attended college.

This is just one of those “Conservative talking points” you get from RightWing hack politicians all over the world.
They must have these pearls of wisdom printed on a card in their pocket.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has an undergraduate degree from an SEC football school. There are 50 states in the U.S., and bless their hearts, UGA is ranked 49th according to US News & World Reports.
I’m glad she writes at an 8th grade level so those of us without her towering intellect can hear the dog whistle.

Seriously, I think it’s more of a garbage in/garbage out situation. My brother got his PhD at UGA and has presented papers at Oxford University.

In this case, I think the actual machine is defective so whether you put in gold or garbage, you still get garbage out either way.
I’m assuming you mean MTG…

That was the implication, sorry

Can confirm.
Although ironically, it was seeing the economic devastation across the river in Lafayette that pushed me to the left.

I am an Old, graduated in '70, and Lafayette wasn’t exactly booming then. Did it get worse?

MTG might have gone to UGA, but her “ignorance” isn’t from a lack of a decent university level education. It’s from her own embrace of fascism. That’s not out of lack of education, because plenty of well-educated and people we consider “highly intelligent” embrace fascism.
UGA is a perfectly fine school, if a bit conservative and too wrapped up in football.

I used to love game days at the University of Florida, because the town was so quiet for a few hours.

Ah yes. “You don’t need to think, you just need to work”. Conservatives need unquestioning drones, not informed citizens.

Her reason is she has seen the statistics on the percentage of college graduates who support Trump.
So he doesn’t want people learning things that will result in. Them not voting for her and “the boss”.
Arguably, the most scary thing about MTG right now is that she stands a 70%+ chance of heading or co-chairing The House Justice committee in January. Also, beyond that, Trump recently suggested that, assuming he retakes the presidency at some point, he’s planning on giving MTG a cabinet-level Justice position, presumably he means AG. So, she’ll replace Garland.
Given that a GOP House should be able to immobilize the FBI/DoJ and the executive branch in general, it seems likely that all (including state-level) investigations into Trump will come to halt and be damaged in ways that make it hard them hard to reboot. Every MAGA who might possibly be charged/sentenced, will be granted immunity by the House Justice committee. Grand juries will be folded, paperwork dumped/sealed/corrupted, and all of the most knowledgeable/capable agents and lawyers at the FBI/DoJ and Dems in congress will find themselves in deep, complicated, expensive and time-consuming legal messes. A GOP House will create a whopping legal mess that will undo the (admittedly slow, narrow, and too easy-going) justice that has been working its way through the January 6 MAGA crowd. It will be hard for the Dems to have much say in the matter, especially if the GOP manages to tie up the Dems with impeachment hearings for Biden and his cabinet.
At this point, MTG’s thoughts, feelings, and weird notions about UGA, are less of a problem than the remarkable odds that, very soon, she’s likely to be in charge of oversight of the world’s largest group of lawyers and a small army of 35k FBI workers. MTG makes Ashcroft and Sessions look like founding members of BLM.

I’m not sure what it was like back then, but when I was there around the turn of the millennium, the only sign of life in Lafayette was the Subaru plant. Homelessness was a huge problem, couldn’t ignore it, but apparently a lot of people did 
there were no services to help any of them. The townies I knew who were lucky enough to have jobs and homes weren’t exactly thriving financially, unless they worked for the university. West Lafayette was completely different, built around these college kids who were there nine months out of the year, and next September there would be mostly new shops. So, well maintained but in a manufactured sort of way. I actually lived in Lafayette and unincorporated Tippecanoe County because I couldn’t stomach West Lafayette.

My money is on an intro survey humanities course. The kind of thing where in order to pass you have to buy a single textbook, take notes for maybe half the lectures, and turn in about a paragraph of writing a week. Pure torture!
The budding MTGs of the college world like their intro science courses more, because the homework is easier to do, ahem, “in groups.” Also [glances around to ensure secrecy] some of the answers are in the back of the book, you can just copy them, I swear that dumbass professor doesn’t even know LOL.
