I thought WP taught future military leaders history, science, engineering, math and military strategy. When did they become a liberal arts college?
This is just part of the two-tier “separate but unequal” economy we’ve created (and the natural outcome of affirmative action); it is a facade of integration and assimilation. Rather than admit that massive majorities of certain people will never fit in a modern society/economy, we’ll just pretend that they’re “making it” - with useless, unearned high school diplomas, degrees, jobs, promotions, etc., while ignoring glaring shortcomings (near-absence in any STEM field, broken families, poor language skills, no work ethic).
Once you pretended tokens belonged in (and could finish) college on their merits, you have no choice but to continue the charade and force employers to pay them to pretend to work/offer value. The fact that they retreated to fake majors with no marketable value in the real world is irrelevant; we are to pretend they are “educated” (even if only in hate and envy).
Vicious cycle, and completely demeaning...
