It is hopeless! > Agreed. The depth of ignorance is shocking. People conflate formal schooling (the goal of which is to get a degree) with education (which has no end). The idea of a liberal education originally meant something more like free-ranging, independent inquiry. Now *liberal* is taken to be a political stance, opposed to *conservative*; thus some people (won't name names) would like to purge liberals from education and to fill universities with dunces and butt-kissers whose only qualifications are loyalty to Big Brother and the official party line. Ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery.
