Are Too Many People Going to College? — The American, A Magazine of Ideas

I say "yes." Too many freeloaders, slackers, wannabes and just plain idiots, many of them with tenure. College is not for everybody, and in fact, should be more stringent in its overall acceptance policies.

"Oh," you say, 'That's not the universities' fault. Lay that blame on the K-12 educational system." I say the blame lies with both, for K-12 education is below world standards and colleges keep accepting these sub-prepared, largely-unfocused drones. After all, remedial classes generate billions of dollars, for you don't think colleges are just giving them away, right?
