Wasn't The Whole Purpose Of College To Inoculate You From Propaganda/BS?

 Well....in some ways, the original purpose was to give you unique skills and perceptions....to ask questions and gain insight into subjects.  

Through the 1990s....I think to some degree....the majority of colleges were attempting to do that.

In the past twenty years?  They've basically gone in a number of cases to present propaganda, as the one-and-only 'truth' and without insight/analysis or skepticism....you fall into a pit of believing just about anything.

The engineering and science fields are probably the least affected so far, although medicine has gone to the deep end and been able to convince of various hoax-like fake-truths.  

Where this is leading?  Well....if you go and spend $100k of borrowed money....to get a fake degree....mostly feeding you BS/propaganda, what's the value of the degree a decade later?  At some point, society is going to react and lay you off from your position, with minimum opportunities to repay the $100k of debt.

There's some bad times coming for some folks.
