The whole secondary education system ( not unlike the primary one) is a disgrace! It’s really no different than the “medical profession/ healthcare system.”
Professors who are marxist/socialist idealogues are collecting exorbitant “salaries” for simply being propagandists for their line of political thought. Everything they teach is taught through the prism of their ideology. They can twist Physics, or whatever, to fit how they want the population to think, even if it is counterintuitive or just plain wrong. At Berkeley, where I got an engineering degree many years ago, they didn’t even teach. They turned over undergraduate teaching to graduate students so they could work, unencumbered, on their grants from the government to do “research,” or to “publish” their thoughts on this or that! All the while, their “work year” was eight or nine months and they were paid outrageous amounts of money which went up each year as the government got further into the business of “student loans.” The whole thing, not just Penn State should be shut down for several years and completely overhauled.
