That group is allowed to enter where they are GUARANTEED fail. They are given NO favors by being allowed to go to a university or college without being qualified in the reading and writing category. They are SET UP to fail from the get-go.
So what else is new? Our children are being dumbed down even in High School. I see it all the time with on-the-street Jay-Walking type reporters who ask the simplest questions, like who was our first President? Answer, "Abreemim Lincun" or "Jimmah Cahter".
Or who invented the first flying machine?. Answer, "Ford or I don't know".
The saddest I've ever seen is who invented the light bulb? Answer, "None". WTF? What are our children being taught if not the basics in history classes.
Oops, just remembered the very worse answers to the question, "Who did the colonists fight in the revolutionary war?" I was simply astounded by the incorrect answers. "Mexico, France, and I don't know."
As usually, I try to supply solutions: Eliminate the Dept. of Education. Let the States and localities have absolute jurisdiction over the reading materials and teacher tenure (which shouldn't be forever after only 10 years). Without Fedgov funding the education districts will have to listen to parents more.
Plus, I put much of the blame on parents who just don't give a crap anymore, but still think there clueless offspring need to go to college to earn degrees in "women studies", "cultural studies", "general sociology studies" and other worthless majors.
Unless they have a pre or post graduate degree in math, engineering, computer science, business or any hard science, it's no wonder so many graduates go to work at McDonald's. And then they complain about their student loans. Of course Sanders would say it should all be free, even if they want to major in "Post Mayan Civilization" or some such made up nonsense.
