FORGET COLLEGE

They were valuable when the had not yet become full-tilt post-modern Marxist indoctrination centers, but now....

...the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has done a study of what students are learning and sadly, the results are not surprising:

ACTA conducted research to see whether 100 major institutions require seven key subjects: English composition, literature, foreign language, U.S. government or history, economics, mathematics and science. What ACTA found was found was alarming, reporting that "Even as our students need broad-based skills and knowledge to succeed in the global marketplace, our colleges and universities are failing to deliver. Topics like U.S. government or history, literature, mathematics, and economics have become mere options on far too many campuses. Not surprisingly, students are graduating with great gaps in their knowledge -- and employers are noticing."

The National Center for Education Statistics reports that only 31 percent of college graduates can read and understand a complex book. Employers complain that graduates of colleges lack the writing and analytical skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. (Walter E. Williams)

This is a godsend to Statists. A population that does not know our history, our founding or our defining documents is a population that will make good slaves. No wonder so many voted for slavery.
