Completely agree. The “education” received at today’s universities is worse than worthless. It would only be worthless if all that happened is the student received no actual education for the absurd amount of money spent. But it’s worse than that because the student gets indoctrinated with idiotic nonsense in place of an actual education.

Those who attend these “institutions of higher learning” come out dumber than when they went in.

The value of a diploma from a selective college was that it told the prospective employer that the person had to have been smart to be admitted.

Now, with Affirmative Action, its value is lessened.

You could do better by hiring straight out of high school, if you could have access to the kid’s grades and SAT scores, and if using that info wouldn’t earn you a discrimination lawsuit.

Companies used to do that, before a Supreme Court decision in the 1970s declared that any employment test which had fewer blacks passing was illegal discrimination (Griggs v Duke Power)
