Scandal of Vacant Brains

At the Depot, our view of the educational system in the United States has usually been restricted to elementary and high school aridity and a worthless application of every piece of PeeCee  poppycock to the defenseless pupils' anesthesis.

As we all well know, academia does not entertain as one of its strong points  the rigor of self- criticism.

But now, a disinterested Vanguard has done some testing on more than 30,000 college graduates from coast-to-coast in the United States, to find out just how prepared for "White Collar" employment in today's job market a "graduate" really is.

The answer is horrific. More than four out of 10 receiving bachelor degrees cannot cope with the simplest requirements of modern day creativity and business leadership.

You can read and evaluate the exhaustive study HERE !

This should be  painfully embarrassing to academia, but peopled as it is with failed hippy culture and massive marijuana burnout of the brains responsible for these young college people, we should not be too surprised. 

After all, just this week at Duke University, a schedule of calls to prayer by an Imam of Islam from the storied tower there was announced by the University administration in
 Durham....Only to be reversed, retracted and ( they hope)  forgotten in the wake of cease-and-dsist shouts from  University trustees and perpetual donors.

One could view this as the beginning of a cleanup campaign in American education. 

But a close lookat those who are doing the "educating" would not encourage that hope.

The saddest deduction, which is to say, the strongest evidence at hand, would lead any fair-minded person with common sense to say we should attack the superfluity of idiots "instructing" in the colleges while the professors publish papers and make speeches, rather than increase the number of  high schoolers to be victimized by these poseurs.

This is more important than almost anything facing our servants in the legislative and executive branches of government. 

Well, that is the opinion here today, for what it's worth.
