More and more the state of American education is coming to the attention of the public. From Primary to Secondary, to the University system they have all been taken over by propagandists. DEI is prevalent at all levels of our system.
On the primary and secondary level they’ve been flying under the radar for almost two decades now. The concept is a pervasive cancer eating away at the future of the nation and reason in general.
DeSantis has stepped up and is addressing the issue in Florida by taking the Teachers Union off at the knees and its well past the time someone should do so. Because of the power of the various Teacher’s Unions the politicians of the states have abdicated their responsibilities to the public in order to secure the teachers votes. In effect the teachers unions were allowed to run the various states education system as they willed. And that abdication on the politicians part is a serious problem because in the end they, and only they, are responsible for the state of education.
DEI is having the same effect on higher education, but the decision on the part of the administrators is already beginning to have dire consequences. This is especially true with regard to the Ivy League schools. By severely relaxing their entrance requirements and establishing quotas based on some superficial applicant feature they’ve forced the professors to make a choice. Dumb down the curricula or hold to standards or face being referred to as racist/misogynist/discriminatory. Those professors that stand their ground are being forced out of the system. This is all done in the efforts to be seen to be worshipping at the altar of DEI while the underlying motive is money.
The full term (4 years) tuition at an Ivy League school is upwards of $300K depending on major. The more bodies they can move through the system the better off the school will be financially and, oh by the way, the tenured professors as well. As with all things in life decisions always come with unintended consequences. Once, if you graduated from a premiere university with an above average GPA, you were set for life. The top companies didn’t even bother to interview you. That is no longer true. Now that those same schools are graduating a sub-standard product extensive interviews are now the norm. As a matter of fact some companies have resorted to testing, both in subject knowledge and native IQ as well. What these universities haven’t seemed to figure out is that they are diminishing their own brand. A crude analogy would be for GM to sell you a Yugo branded as a Cadillac. Eventually this is going to catch up to them and the more intelligent will figure out that paying $300K for a Yugo makes no sense.
This whole philosophy is trickling down to the lesser schools, after all who doesn’t want to be like Harvard? The good news is that this is going to open up an opportunity for schools that refuse to lower their standards for the sake of appearances. By my estimation this whole transformation is going to take from 10 to 20 years unless the major universities wake up and change their ways.
