Thomas Sowell’s latest column takes aim at the harm done by educators, largely in colleges and universities, who use valuable time students need to learn knowledge and skills for indoctrination instead. They have helped to create a large body of people who can’t see anything good about the US and would rather fume over the past than work to improve their lives today. Here’s a great line: “If those individuals who feel aggrieved could sell their American citizenship to eager buyers from around the world and leave, everybody would probably be better off. Those who leave would get not only a substantial sum of money … they would also get a valuable dose of reality elsewhere.”
Sadly, grievance mongering is profitable. Numerous professors make comfortable livings teaching courses in the Grievance Industry.
