This wouldn’t matter as much if they actually learned something in college. But except for the sciences, it has all become one big excursion into political correctness and social norming.
My son just finished his first year of college. When he got home, I asked him if it seemed liked the year just flew by. His response was, “When I think about how much I learned, it seems like I’ve been gone for quite a while.” He’s a biology major who wants to be a doctor someday. He is also a National Merit Scholar, so he’s not paying a whole lot to go to school. My other boys are engineers who absolutely learned a lot in college and are doing very well now.

My stepson has a degree in computer science and he knows vastly more than I do about computers and math but I am certain he could not pass the public high school finals that I took in 1962. He knows nearly nothing about history, government, economics, literature, biology, geography, business etc., the list goes on and on. He is 36 and is still unable to make his own way in the world without assistance .
Don’t forget beer pong!
