American Education Is Rotten from Top to Bottom - American Thinker

American Education Is Rotten from Top to Bottom - American Thinker--By Jack Cashill
"In reading the "overview" of Dr. Jill Biden's 2006 doctoral dissertation from the University of Delaware, I am reminded just how rotten, from top to bottom, are America's schools of graduate education. 
 That a doctor of anything could write a sentence like the one that follows speaks to the historic worthlessness of most graduate programs in education:
Three quarters of the class will be Caucasian; one quarter of the class will be African American; one seat will hold a Latino; and the remaining seats will be filled with students of Asian descent or non-resident aliens.
An advisory committee had to approve this mumbo-jumbo. 
Apparently, none of the committee members noticed that when you add three fourths to one fourth, you've pretty much exhausted all the "fourths" available — all the seats as well. 
...In the fifteen years since Jill Biden became a "doctor" — Whoopi Goldberg once pitched her to become surgeon general — the average school of education has gone from being merely a bad joke to becoming scarily woke.
...According to U.S. News & World Report, the nation's best education school is the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). 
 In thumbing through the online catalogue, I would estimate that roughly one out of every three or so courses offered by HGSE has something to do with race or "equity." 
What Harvard does today, your local State U will be doing tomorrow. 
Education schools chase trends as mindlessly as dogs chase tails...Read all.
