If you believe elementary and high schools are supposed to be preparing students to become productive citizens, then current events illustrate that your expectations are not being met.
If you believe that public colleges and universities are supposed to be institutionally neutral, then a visit to the departmental webpages is in order. Many departments are far from neutral. The idea that campuses are places where Truth is a central value is risible.
In short, the definitions and images of several decades ago are no longer in place.
The good news is that a movement to restore the quality of those institutions is growing.
