Is this guy on target, or what?
Dr. Walter Williams, who’s been a college professor for most of his life, nails it again in his townhall.com column for the day, “Colleges, a Force for Evil.”

Williams tabs our collidges and looniversities as “a focal point for the destruction of traditional American values,” and especially decries their overwhelming “contempt for the First Amendment,” supporting his claim with a multitude of examples. He’s not too sold on our high schools, either.
Yo, America! We’re “educating” our country to death.
It’s time we defunded these institutions, which have become parasitic and actively harmful to our nation’s health.
I once asked a high school Advanced Placement class, “What do you think of a country that devotes enormous, costly resources–in this case, the school building and its maintenance, textbooks, salaries and pensions, and an ever-expanding staff–to teaching a whole generation that their country is not worthy of their loyalty?”
They didn’t know how to answer that; and some months later, a girl from that class approached me in the hall and said, “I just can’t stop thinking about that question that you asked us!”
You go, girl! Keep on thinking. We need a lot more thinking here–and a lot less college.
“The threat to our future lies in the fact that today’s college students are tomorrow’s teachers, professors, judges, attorneys, legislators and policymakers.”
One of the reasons we’re in such bad shape today is that the gray ponytail set from the sixties and seventies are shaping opinions to suit the agendas they had fifty years ago.
Jesu defend us.
At the time, in the late sixties, I was appalled by these people. Nothing has changed in the fifty years since.
We need Christian colleges and schools and Christians to support them. And in those Christian schools we need a Biblical based curriculum – none of that evolution scam except presenting it as a scam with the facts to back it up.
We’re “educating” our country right out of business.
I may plagiarize your question in the future! It’s a good one, and a head scratcher.
