    Arguably, it’s the parents that did it, not the educational institution. You’d have better results killing the rich than you would killing education.

      Ivy League schooling is a four year adult daycare and networking camp to secure old money connections. There’s nothing educational about it. I wouldn’t be saying this if “conservatives” were coming after actually good-natured community college administrators, for example.

        I’m not gonna argue with your take on those schools. You’re right.

        But, if a professor at a “good-natured” community college plagiarized, they should be fired.

        What are you basing this on? I have somewhat deep insight into one Ivy League school and can tell you much of it is quite rigorous, well beyond the local community colleges. This is based on family and friends that have gone to one or the other as well as some employees.
