“You do know that there are still some colleges out there that place academics above sports and do not have sports scholarships?”
I know that in the forties, about 5% of Americans got four year degrees. Now, about 35% get those degrees. Instead of being surrounded by the top 5% of intelligent people, college students today are surrounded by the top 35%. Even if you are in the top 5%, you are treated like the top 35%.
Not only are dumber and dumber people going to college, but they are getting better and better grades. This of course is because they don’t teach hard stuff now.
Look up “Academic inflation” and “Grade inflation”.
I was talking to an old guy, maybe 90; he said that he was sent home from the sixth grade with a letter to his parents saying he was too dumb for school, and he should be found a manual occupation. He wound up being a president of a small bank, which isn’t nearly as impressive as it sounds, but still, it is a good illustration of how far down we’ve gone.
There is a war on the elite. Not those with money, but those with intelligence, knowledge, and class. It’s pretty much over now, as the old wise ones are dying, being replaced with the dumbest immigrants the world can provide.
