Domestic gun shooting is often the result of poverty and inequality. Bernie Sanders who I have followed for decades is right about free education in higher public schools, but not private religious ones or private universities.
Andrew Carnegie the great Pittsburgh steel magnate believed in bringing up children by the bootstraps. He was a good example. As a boy he worked in a bobbin sweat shop. He said that elite Ivy League universities were for spoiled youths. (see The Carnegie Nobody Knows, by Swetnam and Smith)
In 2016 what Carnegie believed has been published in The New Republic. Former Yale professor William Deresiewicz wrote that these privileged schools provide good education but what students don't get in these institutions for attaining status and wealth is little intercultural curiosity and no sense of self-respect.The end up in Skull & Bones clicks and even swing from chandeliers and break them for fun even thoughtlessly stealing the skull of Native American Geronimo.
In addition students have to provide documentation of unbelievable achievements, what "leaves them with a violent aversion to risk." Instead of pursuing the reading of books, the arts, ideas and deep thoughts in these precious year, they fixate on getting straight "A's" to get to them to the top of the pyramid.
Therefore, it's better for students to attend community colleges, state universities and small liberal arts colleges for a diverse non-racist background that heightens stress of rivalry and competition.
