Notre Dame Prof Argues Universities Need to Teach Trade Skills

Notre Dame professor Patrick Deneen makes a compelling argument to get America back on track. It’s something Mike Rowe talks about all the time. From The College Fix:

Deenen said in his presentation that in the “modern world” there are two political parties – the “party of order” and the “party of progress.”The “party of progress” has created an American society of “rapid change” that not only fostered “disorder [and] instability” but also caused a “decline of norms and customs,” Deneen said.To remedy the situation, Deenen said the “party of order” needs to replace the “party of progress.”Being a professor, Deenen gave suggestions on how to implement this “party of order” at the university level.Deenen said colleges and universities need to increase their opportunities for students to study and develop “urban trades” and suggested they could require students to learn a trade in order to graduate.This was generally greeted with approval from the crowd — one individual even reacted and said it was a “good idea.”
