False Values Proliferate in Higher Ed
American Thinker ^ | 29 Jun, 2022 | Jack Wisdom

New York leads the way toward a new and ugly generation.

Riding the New York City subway this afternoon, this deplorable saw a sign advertising the new City University of New York (CUNY) ASAP program. ASAP stands for Accelerated Study in Associate Programs. This program provides additional support and funding for students in two-year community college programs and is supplemented by another program for four-year students. These are giveaway programs to incentivize more students to go to college and stay in college and to participate in the leeching mindset that has attacked our culture.

These programs are an extension of the premise that students are kept from their true goals because of economic stresses. Money is thus the main obstacle to progress towards a degree, either towards an AA degree (Associate's two-year degree) or a B.A. degree. Thus, students with special needs, minority students, students of color, non-English speaking students (as a first language), students without means to attend school without working, students with criminal records, students who cannot decide what to major in, students who have low level reading or math abilities, students who have trouble organizing their time in order to get their work in on time, students with drug or alcohol problems, students without regular access to a computer, students whose parents repeatedly tell them they will never amount to anything, students who have served time in any local juvenile or adult detention facility, and students who are raising one or more illegitimate children will get additional financial incentives that may enable them to stay in school and hopefully finish at either a two-year or four-year City University institution. The taxpayer will pay for the additional emoluments to these student sub-groups.

The thinking behind the establishment of these programs has a longstanding and dishonorable history.

Students would be better off if they saved the money and did not get woke indoctrination.

Lots of men would be better off in tech roles.
Linemen
Electricians
Plumbers
HVAC
Crane operator
etc.
I would only to go university if the intention is engineer, lawyer, doctor or MBA for finance.

--- "False Values Proliferate in Higher Ed"

This is historically amusing, as "false values" predict "false" education, and then the only thing remaining is the "higher Ed tuition." This is how all scams fall apart in slow motion. And that motion is underway with enrollments down in many areas.

Yeah, it all makes sense... if the author had had a real education, he never would have written anything so stupid... clearly he doesn’t value education, and so of course if OTHERS want one but can’t afford it, they shouldn’t get one! They should dig ditches, instead! What’s good enough for the author should be good enough for everybody! lol

Oh wait, but the author is WRITING for a living, isn’t he... ah, the collapse of American civilization is at hand... people that don’t believe in education have gone into education... it’s really their best option...
