Grade and degree inflation has degraded the value of college credentials for decades now. Outside of the hard testable sciences, credentials in the social “-isms” are soft and ill-defined, and usually accrue no hiring advantage to their holders outside of academe, media and government. They represent saccharin cubes handed out to penned livestock.

Boy, is this right on target. I am paying tuition for this nonsense right now. My daughter, in a highly rated state U, had as her history course final assignment, a paper on white males oppressing women and minorities. This is US History. We chose William Kennedy Smith and the instructor (a grad student of course) never got the irony. The whole course was PC nonsense. Once she gets her degree she can learn some US history on her own.
