They are worse than just incompetent. They are Marxists.

I remember coming across estivation in my high school biology textbook. Great word.

There is no intelligence in the University System in the USA. Case in point:

In the early 1960s I was in my senior year in college. Many students took the GREs that winter. One fellow in my class scored 800 verbal, 800 math, and 960 out of 970 in, I think, Chemistry. No one was anywhere near his score

No Graduate School recruited him. He never applied to a graduate school. His IQ had to be over 160 yet no systems were set up to find intellects such as his for further development. What a waste.

He did go to Medical School as he took the Med Apt exam and did well on that. He said that he guessed the answer on one question and guessed it correctly in the exam. I remember the question: define estivation.

This is deliberate and malicious and is a continuing aspect and legacy of the tumultuous 1960s, anti-West and anti-American hatred as it was.

We are now in the situation where the faculty at our most prestigious schools, the ones training the next generation of the Ruling Class, are incompetent. This is a problem that will resist, and maybe defeat, correction. The existing faculty everywhere are the ones who recruit and choose their replacements. And, of course, they recruit and choose people just like themselves.
