Brooklyn College?

I have read that public schools in NY are now graduating a much higher percentage. Good for them. The problem is that they were just never given much of an education. I am sure Brooklyn College can do the same for them.

Brooklyn College is part of the city university system - once the jewel in the crown of New York City education. Many Jewish writers and intellectuals who were denied entry at Harvard and Yale came through this system. My father went to Queens College.

It is now a multi-culti hellhole. When I was a kid, Hunter College (female only) was something to aspire too. It’s now a disaster although a nice city campus/street scene.

I graduated from BC in the mid 70’s and at that time it was a very good school. I went back for a visit 25 years later and the campus was a wreck. Open enrollment had changed the composition of the student body to minorities and Russian immigrants. It was sad.
