How dare you say there’s such a thing as failing! Many schools have done away with failing grades. No one gets a D or F as it might hurt their widdle feelers. So, why try at all? If you don’t learn failure as a kid, you’re going to get it slapped against your face throughout adulthood. If you don’t learn the satisfaction of success as a kid, you’re going be a failure as an adult. But, hey, lets give everyone a participation ribbon. It’s the same mentality as paying burger flippers $15/hr.

Texas state universities give valedictorians and salutatorians free tuition. Guess this gets the universities off the hook for that money.

Just a coincidence that the notion of universal income is increasingly popular?
