there are now millions of ‘students’ who don’t belong in college, or at least don’t belong in the mostly-useless courses they’re taking....
yes, studying some humanities, arts, classics..can be good...(can add to the appreciation of life, etc.)...but that’s NOT good if done to the exclusion of acquiring a means of earning a living doing useful things for people and society (nursing, medicine, mechanics, building trades, engineering, you name it). And yet, so many students nowadays are doing just that...wasting, in effect, four or five or six years of their lives...(while, yes, going into debt to do it....)
and yes, teaching is NOT indoctrination, at least not in the Western “liberal” tradition! These hardcore leftist commie/nazi professors (and administrators) need to be rooted out of academe ... not for their dangerous politics but for failing to teach in the first place
Completely agree; you hit the nail on the head. How to fix the problem is another thing.
I would say expelling the “hardcore leftist commie professors and administrators” should be #1 priority, but what a Catch 22—how are you going to expel the professors when you have liberal commie “administrators,” plus a majority of tenured liberal professors?
I don’t know enough about it, but it seems to me that donators to the schools, if there are any who aren’t commies, ought to speak out and withdraw their financial support and say why.
Maybe someone with first-hand knowledge on the university circuit can offer some constructive input. I’m baffled at the tendency in state-run universities—how to correct the lunacy—and evil lunacy at that.

..... Pretty much agree here. But I say "these hardcore leftist commie/nazi professors (and administrators) need to be rooted out of academe ..." for their dangerous politics and for failing to teach in the first place.
Go into massive debt to send your kids to collge.
They (kids) come out of college with the "skills" of a 2 year old.
They know how to have temper tantrums, and need safe spaces, just to be able to handle every day life.
