the fact that community colleges are seen as less valid and for ā€œstupidā€ people is a result of classism and in this essay I will-

ppl in the tags saying that it’sĀ ā€œgenuinely a lesser tier of education because people go there for trades and nursing and thats about itā€ are just proving that its classism. bc a) no thats absolutely not correct. a good chunk of people that go to community colleges do so to knock out their gen eds at a lower price than they’d be if they went to a four year, then transfer to a four year. and more importantly b) trade professions are not lesser than other professions that take higher degrees. people who go into things that take associates degrees are notĀ ā€œstupidā€.

if you think ppl who are too poor to attend a four year university for all four years, or that ppl who are too poor to/don’t want to get their bachelor’s/master’s/doctorate areĀ ā€œstupidā€ then i have news for you:

thats classism, babe
