There’s no such thing as a worthless class. That’s the mantra of America’s higher education system. But perhaps what they’re really saying is there’s no such thing as a class that doesn’t cost students more money. That makes more sense.
What if students weren’t required to take elective and core classes in order to get their specialized degrees in the fields they’ll actually use in their life? Could cost of education go down? Could time spent in college instead of contributing to the real world go down? Would students be better prepared because their minds were filled with relevant information instead of the superfluous garbage they’re forced to ingest as part of their college experience?
The answer to all of these questions is “yes,” and therein lies the problem. Colleges don’t want the cost of education to go down. They dont want students spending less time in college and more time in the real world. They definitely don’t want their students getting specialized education in their field of choice without the other garbage they want to feed them.
Why? The obvious answer is money, but it’s deeper than that. The reason Belmont University offers a course called “Oh, look! A chicken!” is the same reason Santa Clara University offered a course called “The Joy of Garbage.” In these and so many other cases, universities are given a broader scope and greater opportunity to indoctrinate students into their progressive worldview. It’s institutionalized brainwashing on-demand and at-will.
If American colleges offered degrees that gave students everything they needed and nothing they didn’t need, the experience would be shorter and the students would be better prepared for the world. Both goals go against education’s higher purpose, at least in the minds of leftist college administrators.
This excellent video by FEE breaks it all down nicely in two-and-a-half minutes and it doesn’t cost a penny to watch it. Imagine if colleges used that kind of educational economy. Students might actually learn something while they’re there.
