In the past, there has been a stigma surrounding community colleges, where they were seen as a less viable option because they are not four-year universities. I know differently and so do the millions of people across the country who have received an affordable, quality higher education at community college.

Community colleges are great bargains. They avoid the fancy amenities four-year liberal arts colleges need in order to lure the children of the middle class.

Robert Reich

The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone, many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment.

Gary Bauer

We need a change in consciousness to go with this technology platform. We need a new narrative: we need to shift from geopolitics to biosphere consciousness in one generation. The biosphere is understood here as what goes from the biosphere to the depths of the ocean 40 miles where all living beings interact with all chemicals to create a very complex choreography that we call "life on earth". That is biosphere that is our indivisible community.

Jeremy Rifkin

We need to send hundreds of millions of dollars down to our public high schools, vocational colleges, and community colleges to begin training people in the green-collar work of the future - things like solar-panel installation, retrofitting buildings that are leaking energy, wastewater reclamation, organic food, materials reuse and recycling.

Van Jones

I know so many women in their fifties, sixties and seventies who delight in being on their own. It's amazing. They don't see any stigma attached to it. We don't need a man to prove our identity anymore.

Erica Jong

People need to realize that community colleges really give you a good education. And they do - that's just a simple fact of it.

Jill Biden

I was scared that no one would hire me. At that time, there was still a stigma attached to it. A big stigma. Actually, I think I was healthier after the operation than some people who have bypass surgery because I was completely cured. But when you mentioned "heart transplant," you got a very negative reaction. It triggered people's imaginations, and not in a good way.

Robert Altman

Hillary Clinton said we need to bring back vocational education in high school. We need to support community colleges. We need to make sure that people who are not going to finish college have a job waiting for them and the skills to do the job. These are all - have become fairly standard Democratic policy positions.

George Packer

There is a stigma attached to people who go from singing to acting.

Sarah Harding

Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.

Barack Obama

I want to invest in community colleges, training programs, and high-quality apprenticeships that help people gain the skills they need for the jobs of the future.

Hillary Clinton

There's quite a stigma attached to country music in the UK - but I kind of enjoy that.

Jade Bird

There is no stigma attached to recognizing a bad decision in time to install a better one.

Laurence J. Peter

I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.

Padma Lakshmi

This is the Ben Crump model: He goes into a city, creates a narrative, cherry picks facts to establish, to prove that narrative, creates chaos in a community, misrepresents the facts, and then he leaves with his money, and then asks the community to pick up the pieces.
