A four year degree from almost any university is laughable.

Those who earn degrees in science aren't exposed as much, but sadly, they're still exposed to some of this poison.
A bigger culprit than Alinsky is a "historian" by the name of Howard Zinn, who wrote "A People's History Of The United States". That book has been accepted as THE standard for teaching American History to college students, and it was written by a man who completely, down to his bones, hated the United States of America.
Ah, Zinn. Even the flaming red socialists at Harvard and Stanford agree that his book is revisionist claptrap. It's not a textbook, it's a trade book. At best it's been used by half a dozen universities as survey material, not as a textbook. Not a single state in the Union lists it as an approved textbook for secondary education.
Yes, I know that Sen. Santorum made some political hay with his remarks at the NRA national meetings last year. They were, regrettably, not strictly accurate.

Re: Raising the Dumbest Generation in US History

Okay, coming out of the closet, I was a liberal arts major. I earned a B.A., philosophy/history, from UPenn '73. I was a sixth generation legacy admission(matrilinear, yes it makes a difference).
I was then and remain today a liberal in the classical sense, though evolved. What most today consider liberalism is really Marxism/Socialism. True conservatives still hold women as chattel, bathe irregularly, and are tribal in their definition of society.

Edited to add:
How a hick college, cowboy, butter bar(dad) successfully courted a Mainline debutante(mom) during wartime would make a great movie!
