Canada turns him back, but our university system takes him in. Speaks volumes about what is wrong with our country at this point in history.

Exactly. At the very least it speaks volumes about what is wrong with our universities. If things continue as they are there is a good chance that higher education will go the way of the MSM and become a casualty of technology driven alternatives. If one can learn the same things online, in less time, with less expense, and do as well or better on standardized tests, the sanctity of a university education will be at question, and employers will also start to rethink who they hire.

University lib arts departments appear to be totally broken. I no longer consider a college degree in other than the sciences or engineering to be little better than a high school degree - and an “education” degree to be worth nothing at all.

(I know there are plenty of folks with those credentials who are brilliant...but I consider their brilliance to be in spite of their “education”, not a result of it.)
