@Bernice C. - it's refreshing that there are others who are fed up with the nonsense! Some years ago, I had attended Mercy College and took a Political Science 101 class. Easy enough, right? Wrong. In a class of maybe 25 students, half could not speak English. Then one day the professor did something odd, something I had not done since grammar school. She had us all read out loud a paragraph from the text book.

Ready for this...

Only 2 of us - me and another girl - were able to read a paragraph from the text. The other girl had just graduated from a Catholic high school (I had graduated from Catholic school some years before) and she mentioned to me after class that it was odd what we did but even odder was that we were the only 2 who could read the paragraphs.

THAT is what we allow into college and I'm willing to bet that those students weren't paying a penny for their higher education.
