Higher education is supposed to provide the knowledge and skills to propel society forward while also preserving our culture and history. It's not to churn out mindless drones to work in a cube farm or to be political "activists." This also reflects in the minimum educational requirements for entry level positions, too many decent occupations require college degrees that they don't really need when they're just entering the workforce.

I get what you're saying. That's what higher education was about. It still is to a degree but now it's mostly about indoctrination. 

Education allows people to make informed decisions. Indoctrination decides for the people- they just don't know it, or don't care.
