Very interesting article.
Under what moral authority. Society no longer recognizes a Christian moral base.
You can come up with all sorts of 6 point, 10 point , 153 point plans, whatever, but the underlying problem is someone else’s money spent on someone else. It should be obvious to the casual observer by now that the more government money spent on education the worse it’s getting! The solution is simple: get government out of the education business. Seperation of School and State is an idea whose time has come!
Interesting article.
End their tax breaks.
Man! Did this article hit on all 8 cylinders! As a young person in the early 60’s I was wild and crazy but I did obey the law. My only vice back then was drinking alchol and acting crazy. Went into the Air Force at age 19 and came out as a responsible adult.
Today’s young people look like they stepped right out of Gorge Orwell’s 1984 book. Worse yet, they are programmed robots as they enter/leave college and have lost the ability to think independently.
I believe the testimony here is scripted, but nevertheless illustrates the depths of ignorance to which a majority of the culture has sunk:

I believe the solution to the “higher education” ripoff is to switch to a system of certifications, in all subjects, modeled on such systems in the computer and networking fields.
“Higher” education is bad. “Lower” education is worse.

Another female ass-kisser, with the usual men = sex beast, and females = innocent flowers routine.
This article is disgusting. Author has totalitarian tendencies. The only policy change I favor is less funding.
Undergrads are a problem but graduate students really suck.
There is a large group of people that make up a subclass of Liberals that believe your rank in society should be based on how many degrees, what kind they are, and from what schools they are.
It is almost like a religion, reminds me of this lady from Alaska with 14 master degrees, for her entire life she would travel to Washington State for the Winter and enroll in classes. Her favorite pastime was telling everyone how great she is and listing off her degrees as proof of her worth.
As far as I could tell, these were her only life accomplishments and she felt entitled to tell everyone else they are wrong because they didn’t have enough education to know any better.
Graduate & Professional Degree ping

The concepts that are taught are not at all random. It is an attempted indoctrination into a leftist cult. Random conservative ideas, christian ideas, or ideas from the Western classics are intentionally omitted, not randomly interjected.
And when you see it in action and you know better you just feel it is all fraudulent.
But all of this has been said already, and much better, by Alan Bloom in the Closing of the American Mind.
