"The more years of schooling people have had, the more liberal-i.e., the more abstracted from their background and from the natural and transcendent order of existence ... they will be."
I would strongly agree with Lawrence Auster in this observation. Studies in Australia have shown members of the upper professions to be the least patriotic, while laborers were the most patriotic. Similarly, women seem to be at their least feminine by about the second year of university, although they seem to recover somewhat several years after leaving uni.
In Australia there are government targets to make all students finish a grammar type high school and for most students to complete a university course. This is usually justified in economic terms, but I suppose a liberal order would naturally prefer students to complete such a course rather than to attend a technical school or sign up for an apprenticeship.
