One problem we have with American students these days is that they’re coming out of the college with the degree but completely clueless about the practical applications.
I have an uncle who teaches at UofM and says we’re lucky if 1 in 10 are leaving college truly prepared for the workplace. They have so many social manipulations forced on them that it paralyzes them. He says its a pretty oppressive environment where the peer pressure to go with the crowd to protest Israel, Big Oil or whatever is greater than the pressure to study. And to make matters worse, professors “understand” and pass students for showing that they care about society.

Your post brought this article to mind- it’s an alarming view of college life today- your uncle probably sees the problems these writers point to.

The problem is that we let the left be in charge of our education for almost half a century. In order to save the country we have to clean up our education and put God back in the schools.
