Does College Equal Success?

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, doesn’t have a college degree. Neither do Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, or a host of other innovators who have shaped our contemporary world. Which begs an important question: Is a college degree really necessary for success?

Boreing says he doesn’t have any problem with people going to college. It’s a free choice. What he doesn’t buy is the suggestion that it is the great pathway to success and fulfillment. He adds that colleges do one thing–create conformity of thought. And since college professors overwhelmingly lean left, there’s a good chance most of their students do as well.

The left, of course, has a different perspective. They believe a college education is a human right that should be paid for by taxpayers. The idea is a big winner among young people, because who doesn’t want something for nothing. Boreing explains further in this appearance on PragerU.

The South’s GOP Transformation

Once upon a time, the Democrats were the party of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow, and the Republicans embraced emancipation and racial integration. Democrats were the party of the Confederacy in the South and Republicans were the Union of the North. Then the 1960s came and everything  switched. Suddenly, the Republicans were tagged as the racists and the Democrats were the so-called champions of civil rights. So what happened? Enter left-leaning academics and journalists, who perpetrated the false narrative that Republicans couldn’t win an election by appealing to the better nature of the country, so they courted the worst. Former professor of political science at Vanderbilt University Carol Swain says this fairy tale and other myths contributed to the incessant lies of the left. She says the transformation occurred because the values of Southerners changed to espousing pro-life, pro-gun and pro-small government. Swain reviews the timeline of the transformation and debunks the myths in this episode of PragerU.

Stop Vilifying Cops

Did you know?

A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

There is an average of 27 deadly-weapons attacks on officers per day in the U.S.  These are good men and women doing a dangerous job that the rest of us can barely fathom.

More from David Clarke, former sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and PragerU.

Data Supports Police

Data appears to debunk the left’s narrative that police brutality is a rampant problem in America that disproportionately victimizes blacks. Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute fellow and author of The War On Cops, says that blacks make up a far greater percentage of violent crime suspects in the country and black victims comprise a disproportionate share of homicides and shooting victims.

“Blacks die of homicides at 13 percent the rate of whites when they’re between the ages of 10 and 43, according to the CDC,” McDonald says. “That’s a problem and that’s why cops are in minority neighborhoods.” The data clearly supports law enforcement. Mac Donald joins PragerU’s Will Witt to discuss the facts.

COVID-19 Realities And Myths

Democrat governors are at it again, imposing ridiculous restrictions and re-shutting their economies. Are these actions motivated by facts or politics?  Are these moves viable safeguards, or are they all for naught? California board-certified physician Dr. Jeffrey Barke sets the record straight. “There’s plenty of healthcare capacity now, we know a lot more about the virus–who gets it, how to treat it, who’s at risk–so there’s no reason to shut down the economy.” Barke adds that the path forward should focus on protecting our most vulnerable, isolating or quarantining those who are sick, but the young and the healthy should be free to go about their business. In the following appearance on PragerU with host Will Witt, Barke also opines on whether schools should open in the fall, the efficacy of face masks, the truth about hydroxychloroquine and the myths and realities of COVID-19.
