What college professors are teaching

If a large, powerful corporation is allowed to inflict the business model view of higher education upon our institution, we will have a dystopic vision on the purpose of education that is skewed toward the advancement of the production of cheap laborers who are incapable of thinking abstractly. Student’s stamped-out, watered-down degrees will be nothing more than technical training for the workforce -- not for a more just, equal, collective, peaceful society.

This letter was published in the newspaper at my school. It's pretty funny. The same old rants against practical education that the socialist professors here are always peddling.

I teach at a university and focus on getting students to understand what is happening, not what I WISH was happening. The Socialists at the university hate me with a passion and the dumber students complain.

... incapable of functioning properly in community with other human beings......The recent college graduates, now prosaic and apathetic laborers lacking the time or ability for meta-cognition, will be forced into huge amounts of debt.....Then the majority of the students will have to take a low-wage job to pay their insurmountable debt.

These things are already happening and have been for some time. The evil corporations has had nothing to do with these developments. This kid is a fool.

If you’re worried about graduates incurring staggering amounts of debt, greater than they have the ability to repay, perhaps you should talk to the (no doubt) leftists in charge of your university about the morality of charging vast amounts of money to people seeking skills and then giving them agenda-driven Marxist indoctrination instead.

dude, college is too late they start this crap in middle and high schools. A high school in LA is getting its own abortion clinic!

Do you happen to have a link to that info?

This sounds like the same nonsense that is taught in the Democrat Democracy schools that are held around the country as a political organizing tool.

The idea is to blame the corporations for the excesses of the crony capitalism and convince the workers that the government partnership with the crony companies is beneficial and makes the big bad corporations servants of the collective.

Of course only companies that submit to the leftwing dogma are allowed to participate. All other corporations are said to be greedy Republican corporations.
