Educational Tectonics

A tectonic shift in America concerning education has occurred. It seems the new independent intelligence in America includes blue-collar workers, while the new college grads seems as Manchurian candidates, programmed with what to do and say but not how to think. Except for skills training, the new college grad seems to have receded intellectually.

Many college students prefer formulas for thought, not a broad intellectual framework to determine thought.

With some colleges offering safe spaces and pet goats, these campuses now have the overtones of preschool.

In the old days, one might walk into a bar where the customers all thought about the same. These were union people.  Now the union folks have opinions sweeping across all persuasions. They think.  It is the college grads and student that seem to think the same, no deviants allowed.

The educational tectonic fissures began emerging in middle America and are now spreading.
