And this:
Keenly attuned to what might give them a competitive edge, especially in a time of unsure job prospects and a shaky economy, many of them approach college as a race to acquire credentials: top grades, leadership positions in student organizations, sought-after internships.
Aside from the sexual aspects of "hooking up", this is a culture of naked ambition and greed. It's narcissistic. To be so driven toward material success and personal power. This is a rot that runs very deep.
As the Founders noted, our system of government works, if society is composed of moral people. We've created a culture of "what's in it for me?"
No system of government can save us now. This has to collapse and burn out the rot.
Its not like there has been much change in the last thirty five years.
With the introduction of cheap birth control and abortion women began behaving pretty much the same as men in private.
Now it isn’t even veiled except when they engage in sex with the underaged or hire prostitutes.
I see it a reality that was planned by the Gramsci Marxists in their quest to destroy Western Civilization. Young adults are now well into their mid-20s and even early 30s ( and burdened with thousands in debt) before that have the credentials to get a career path job.
By destroying K-12 schooling and cheapening the value of a college degree through grade inflation, it now necessary to have master degrees and more to prove to employers that one is literate, numerate, and trainable.
While an 8th grade education was more than sufficient for my grandmother's generation ( born 1894) for nearly any job in the U.S., it was a high school diploma for my parents , a bachelors degree for mine, and now masters and more for my kids and grandchildren.
It is SICK and its been intentionally driven by the Marxists who run the education-industrial complex.
I agree.
I used to be very active on Free Republic, especially the education threads. Not too much now. I think it is hopeless. I agree. It is “burn out” time. And....All those who cooperated in the nation's downfall will answer to God and their fellow citizens at the Judgment.
