Let's be honest, shall we? Look at our elite colleges now vs 50 years ago. Who believes the courses and professors are better now than they were then. All the wasted time with woke bullshit and discriminatory acceptances... are we as a country producing the same number of INTELLIGENT graduates as we were back then? The damage Democrats have done to our education system will take a very long time to recover from, so we will need to bring in more people from other countries that actually put merit before identity.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
The NEA continues to graduate high schoolers who are functionally illiterate and lacking good math skills. Now it appears colleges and universities are also inflating grades for their students who arrive not reading at a high school grade level. So we are getting fraud. Instead of expelling the slackers, they continue to cash their tuition checks and let them stay until graduation. Degrees now take five to six years. Universities don't mind getting paid for students refusing to become adults.
And back on topic? Foreign college and university students have quintupled in the last twenty years. Making up for those American high schoolers who decide a degree in fine arts or medieval French no longer makes sense at 7% interest?
