But, at the same time, part of me doesn't care. If some student gets the participation trophy of a diploma but still doesn't know anything, it probably doesn't hurt me as long as the total fraction of ignoramuses doesn't get too high. We do need ditch diggers, burger flippers, and maids.


Absent social justice hysteria you're right. But some of these dunces will be identity advanced and could be engineering the airplane you are about to board or the bridge you are using to cross the gorge or the 20 storey building your mom lives in.


You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier
