$80K a year for a propaganda reinforced daycare for adults?
The argument could easily be made that anyone stupid enough to attend college is a bad risk on every level.

Grades don’t matter.
Being admitted to Yale and graduating from Yale signals that you are Regime compliant and a Globohomo loyalist.
That’s the value.
It is for people who want to join the leadership elite of the USA.

No. In the circles where it carries weight, it still carries weight.

GWB may well have screwed up as a President, but do you think that ‘stupid’ men can fly single-seat fighter jets?

Our daughter goes to Private High School.
She recently showed me her midterm report card.
Her worst grade was English 3.
I immediately said English 3?
She said the teacher is new.
I completely accepted that.
Her English is way above 3.

Worked at a placement firm (head-hunter) about 25 years ago, interviewed 2 people from Yale, dumb as rocks.

Seems almost like having a sheep skin from any of the ivy league schools any more only means you have a sheep skin from an ivy league school. i.e. joy reid. Just sayin’.

The value of any Ivy education is devalued because the students have been dumbed down by lower admission standards
Back in the day, it was totally normal for a large percentage of Yale students to get As because a pretty large percentage of them had never gotten anything less than an A in their lives.
When you have an entire class with a history of GPA above 4 itโs not unusual to have a high percentage of A grades
Nowadays itโs a lot different because of the admission standards that emphasized diversity and affirmative action admits do 80% A is grade inflation.
FWIW, rumor has it that when Chelsea Clinton was at Stanford, the liberal Democrat profs were falling all over themselves at competing to see how much favoritism they could give her
