    College degrees mean you can read and write with a purpose. It doesn’t mean you can think. There’s a reasons you don’t see a ton of conservatives in research science.

      I taught college for a few years.

      Only about 10-20% of my students showed any evidence of engagement or understanding with the material.

      The other 60% were just parroting everything, but that’s good enough to get B/C and pass the class and that’s all they care about.

      And about 20% were total idiots who didn’t belong in a college classroom, but the school won’t fail them even when they cheat because money. 10% of my students cheated and I reported them and only about 3% of those that cheat get punished for it, the others get passed with a low grade.
