Its called “teaching to the test” or, in the industry, “Outcome Based Education”.

There's plenty of that. But I'm skeptical they are even doing THAT much. I think they spend more time on mind-numbing individuals into a stupor.

A local college official went back to D.C. for a big wig meeting. The Fed D.C. officials noted that THEY WERE DELIBERATELY DUMBING-DOWN the students. They don't want THINKING serfs and slaves among the lowest class--the only class to be allowed to exist except for the elites.

He came home and resigned.
