It’s like what I saw in Illinois, where the mainstreamed special education kids were going across the stage at graduation, and getting the exact same diploma as the other kids. You give a Down’s Syndrome kid what amounts to an attendance award, and what does that say about the diploma you put into the hands of the class valedictorian?

They think they’re helping these “disadvantaged” kids out, but the reality is that they’re really setting them up for lifelong failure, and creating the seeds of their own destruction. By the time they’re finished, an Ivy League degree will be essentially worthless, and some form of verifiable and testable certification will have supplanted the old system. I don’t give it but a few more years, and the entire educational ecosystem in this country will be devalued to worthlessness, and replaced by something else. This sort of thing makes that inevitable, because if you can’t rely on the quality of a product, what happens? Yeah; you quit buying it. MBA programs are already being noted by a lot of business operators as presenting little to no value added, and many of the graduates are actually dangerous to the core of business operations. This will have inevitable results, once enough people figure out the realities of it all.
