Bari Weiss's footprints are all over this line.

What are the 2% of degrees? I'm sure my double major of political science and history are on there, as is sociology, philosophy, and most of the humanities, along with fine arts.

High schools have been turned into rigorous test taking data providers, and now universities will be turned into job training centers and not places of education, advancement, and actual learning. All the owners of the world want are good little worker bees that are just smart enough to do the jobs and just dumb enough to accept the lousy pay, minimal benefits, destruction of overtime, removal of worker protections, vanishing pensions, ending of medicare, and the privatizing of social security.
