You've got another good point. I went right for the real classes as a freshman, so I missed what many students are indoctrinated with. But my last undergrad class was called global climate or something. I was one credit shy so I had to take a spring class after graduation. It was one of the watered down drivel courses of which you write.
I went to college at a private university that to this day still teaches Austrian economics and still has first rate math and science departments.
You couldn't pay me to attend most colleges today. In fact, I have a 17yo who needs to go to college but I am having a hard time finding more than just a handful at which I'd be happy to pay tuition.
Wake Forest
Grove City
Thomas Aquinas
are just a few I could stand to send her to.
