Of course the government wants the current students to learn nothing. If they learn too much, they will question authority. They will have the knowledge to be skeptical of Al Gore (et al.) when they tell us that the globe has a fever. If they know nothing, then they have to believe whatever the politicians tell them.

Ironically, “Question Authority” was the motto of the same generation that gets so offended when their own authority is questioned.

And even if you were a good student in high school, you are forced to fill up several years of study in areas not related to your major.

We gave that up as the standards we graduated under are no longer anything but history.
