Why not, at least in public colleges and universities, put an end to “cultural studies, black studies, womyn’s studies ad nauseum.” And how many psychologists and sociologists does society need at public expense?

Instead, emphasize our American history and heritage, constitutional government, free market economics (and the error of socialism and communism), scientific truth, and USEFUL professions that require and undergraduate/professional education like engineering, scientific research, business and accounting, medicine, and to a lesser extent, law and theology?

It sounds as if some of the students discussed in the article would be happier learning a trade at less cost in time and money to them, their parents, and the public. College should be reserved for those wishing, to some degree, to pursue scholarship.

Now you are talking! If I had the money of Bill Gates or Soros, I would have you help me and start up a private college to teach just that. Alas, I am poor. LOL
