And increase STEM curricula.

There should be federal assistance for STEM majors. STEM majors are a net positive to society and should have inexpensive to zero cost tuition. SJW majors should be charged double.

STEM is now ate up with SJWs, though.

"Diversity" is now some sort of acceptable, objective goal of STEM fields. Not competence. Not "diversity of ideas", but straight up quotas, particularly of women and (non South Asian or East Asian) minorities.

It's not STEM anymore. It's now STEAM, adding an A for Arts.

Thus destroying any meaning the acronym had to begin with.

Camille Paglia agrees with you about SJW curricula. She blames the colleges for moving away from subject matter that is designed to provoke thought and research and instead offer subjects that makes students feel good.

Depending on what you mean by SJW curricula, I might be onboard. I'd argue that focus on arts is what separates us from the rest of the world, as the thing China specifically lags behind in is creative thinking. I know numerous gaming companies who need graphic artists more than they need programmers. The US has increased its number of STEM graduates to nearly 600,000 a year. That's nearly twice the number produced in 2000. Arts are important, especially visual arts, as the need for those sorts of artists will increase with technology.

No!

That's why college costs have skyrocketed in the first place.

I have no problem with changing incentives to encourage STEM majors but those not deciding to major in STEM fields are doing so of their own volition, I see no reason to punish them.

As long you don't start lowering the bar in terms of admittance to those STEM programs, I am all for it.


Of course, I thing they should just eradicate all SJW studies programs. frick them and their graduates' complaints about high student loan costs.

Nope. Gov't subsidies will drive the cost UP and the quality DOWN. The best thing for the gov't to do is stop trying to social engineer the job market through the education system.

Lol, the most TDS affected, ate up SJW I've ever personally been around was a female materials engineer.
