Regarding: “Change the curricula to prepare the students for productive work” you do understand that college is not trade school, don’t you? I see it possibly becoming akin to trade school, but hopefully, that won’t happen.
“productive work” does NOT mean trade school!
It means cut the crap with:
psych
sociology
sports med
100 different language classes
It means focus on:
reading
writing
math
history
actual science vs. propaganda
Honestly,....Nearly all the jobs in the economy merely require a sound mastery of reading, writing, arithmetic, and a varying amount of specialized study and training. I would add that to be functional in society a basic understanding of the history of Western Civilization, geography, economics, and civics is also needed...but...attendance at a college or university is absolutely not necessary to acquire any of this knowledge or skill.
I believe that there are several underlying motivations for this Marxist push toward universal college for all youth:
**Increasing debt and lengthy years in school keep youth in a state of babyhood and burdens them with debt. They are less likely to marry and form families, or greatly delay forming families. This is accompanied by more out-of-wedlock sexual activity. Fundamentally, the Marxist wish to destroy the family and Christian sexual inhibitions.
**Obama and the Marxists depend upon the education-industrial complex for votes. What better way to increase votes than to increase the size of the education-industrial complex?
**The longer a young person is in college the more influence his Marxist professors will have over his long term worldview. This means more votes for the Marxists.
** Once a young person leaves school he is mugged by economic reality. Reality produces conservatives. The longer a young person can be kept in the warm soft womb of school, the more likely his is to vote for Marxists.
