If everyone does it, college becomes 13th through 16th grades, and is then mostly worthless. Less than worthless for conservative families who didn’t want their kids to be indoctrinated liberals or booze and drug connoisseurs.

Exactly - which puts them in ‘public education’ well into their 20’s, THEN if they go to a 4 or 6 year “Institute of Higher Learning” they are in their 30’s before they have to get a job to support themselves.
I knew way back in the early 50’s College wasn’t even a dream, so I quit HS in Sr year to join Navy (’56).
My youngest informed us that we ‘owed’ her a college education.
I told her to bone up on her Math etc and I would get her into one of the Academies and I got “I Don’t want to go in the Army” - so then just told her “Your mother and I would be more than happy to assist your going to college”. We did, She did....that was late 80’s.
I guess today I would be imprisoned or at least visited by the ‘occupiers’...
