Universities as a rule are giant frauds perpetrated on the public by well-paid university staff and their leftist political allies. In my view, the average graduate knows next to nothing, at least, next to nothing useful. He or she generally emerges from these hugely overpriced, vastly overfunded, and heavily subsidized institutions with a phony cynicism, a derisive attitude towards capitalism and patriotism, an insufferable arrogance, a numbing ignorance about the history and culture of the West, and–to top it off–a sense of entitlement. We all have been brainwashed–myself included–that our kids must have that university degree, and employers go along with the gag even when the job does not require one.
The Ace is at University. I can’t say that I’m happy to be spending the money, but there is no viable alternative to the Higher Education Racket. Yet.
