In a civil world of politics, we would take time to pat each other on the back when we make a point. I have thought it would be neat to recognize others for significant thoughts, or for taking significant stands. I don't know that I will follow up on this, by doing it again next month, but this month I honor Tucker Carlson of Fox News for his coverage of higher education the past month.
Young Americans are receiving worse educations than perhaps ever before. They are partying more than studying. And, while the level of education goes down, the grades are going up. Grade inflation, Carlson calls it. Carlson might not have used this term, but how about diploma mill? Are our colleges, to some degree, becoming diploma mills?
And, all while, costs are up --fueled by student loans.
