The result of dumbing down education at the high school level - and it absolutely has.

I just told you: no it isn't. It isn't "dumbing down at the high school level." It is a pure selection effect. College was for elites, either economically (which, not surprisingly, also tend to be smarter than average) or intellectually in 1939. Now it's for everyone. It has nothing to do with dumbing down; it has everything to do with "dumbing up," as the dumber kids (who've always been there) now go to college too.

Going to college does not = smart.  Sorry.  It doesn’t.  


In fact if you are paying for it likely because you’re white and your family makes over 100K bc it’s made good decisions, you may want to say - nah I’ll try a trade.

Correct. That's what the article says (as it makes great hay of an incredibly obvious thing).

Going to an elite college = really smart. Almost without fail.

Going to a competitive college = smart. Except for athletes and legacies at certain ones.

Going to any old college or community college = can't make any valid inference re: intelligence.

Why would Christianity Today tell people to send their kids to public schools?  Especially when Catholic school enrollment is plummeting?

Shocking Study Exposes 'Activism Instead
of Anatomy' Taught in Top Medical Schools

by Mia Cathell

 

Healthcare watchdog group Do No Harm has released a report exposing left-wing activism's takeover of medical academia, specifically how "medical schools are short-changing rigorous training in science for the political indoctrination of future doctors." The 14-page report, titled "Activism Instead of Anatomy: The Sorry State of Medical School Curricula," systematically examined the course catalogs of 20 top-rated medical schools across the country to identify instances of radical political objectives embedded in the teachings as opposed to typical medical knowledge.
