(1) The whole idea of “college” was for education for the gifted, not for everybody.
(2) When you lower the standards down for college admission so that anybody can get in there is also a tendency to lower the standards for graduation. If you grade on the bell curve this will happen. Its a mathematical certainty.
(3) If getting a degree in “Education” is the easiest thing to do, the least talented will gravitate toward it.
(4) Those who receive an education from the least talented will receive an inferior education.
(5) If you put it into a loop, in computer terms, the iterations will ultimately get the educational level to zero, or so close to it that you can’t tell the difference.

If you’re not allowed get rid of incompetents you’re in trouble. If you’re not even allowed to identify incompetents you’re buried beneath two feet of quicksand and sinking fast.
