Not a recent phenomenon. I lived in the Baton Rouge area in the mid-80s. At that time, a bit over 50% of LSU incoming freshman required remedial (read: high school) coursework. And this was at the state's "flagship" U.It's probably closer to 90% today.

That COLLEGES now have courses in remedial math and English .. because the students they admit need these courses ... is beyond depressing.Affirmative action and the cult of Diversity has made an already bad problem worse. A lot of universities devote a big portion of their resources to "bilingual education" to remediate non-existent English skills among immigrant students.

Well at least the smart kids are getting a full measure of “climate change” education....

This week is Gay Pride at Penn State Main. My daughter hates the place and is counting the days for her graduation. She is brilliant may I add.
