Reason magazine wrote: “college is, to some degree, a scam.” That’s like a being a little pregnant. A scam is wrong no matter the degree. “It’s because college is a joke, and it’s easy enough for an academically disinclined grifter—an Olivia Jade, if you will—to get by studying nonsense subjects. They’re paying for the experience and the diploma, not the actual education.” What good then is the actual education.
Education provides information and knowledge. Whether or not the student gains the info and knowledge, the student is entitled to claim he or she is educated.
The lid was blown off the garbage can with The Bell Curve, a practically banned book these days. What liberals don’t like about The Bell Curve is that author Charles Murray — tagged by the non-partisan and ethical Southern Poverty Law Center as “extremist” — suggested that the then-current practice of selected kids for college on their IQ was part of a national policy of segregation by intelligence. And that would not be good for Katie’s “social contract.”It’s the diploma, not the education that is the issue in the college cheaters scandal. To recep: practically everything going wrong in America today, liberals, is Your Fault. You Did It. Because you are the ruling class. And you are the conventional-wisdom idiots. You get the blame because you got caught with your fingers full of cookies while still in the cookie jar.
