Let's ask ourselves; Qui bono?

The dimwitted students? No. Perhaps their egos will benefit in the short term, but long term, this is setting them up to be minimum wage workers who'll have no choice but accept whatever the corporate masters will give them.

The teachers? No. This is diluting their jobs even closer to the function of glorified babysitter. As their jobs demand less intellect, the more replacable they become, the more they'll have no choice but to accept whatever the corporate masters will give them.

The Democrats? Yes. They will benefit from a appeased populace trained to depend on handouts, trained to embrace mediocrity.

Corporate business? Yes. Eventually they'll reach a point where they won't even need to outsource because they'll have successfully destroyed the career prospects and quality of life of the majority of the population. They'll finally bring the factories back, because they'll now have a domestic population of braindead chimps to work to death, who'll know they can't do any better.

And that's my theory on the Democrat-Corpo alliance and their desire to turn the west into China - a serfdom run by an untouchable political-industrial elite.
