I agree. Public (and mostly private too) education has turned education into glorified job training. The difference between a trade school and university is that the university training is more upscale as to vocations. Teaching how to think, a rigorous traditional survey of history, how to weigh things out, this has mostly been thrown out the window. And then there is history erasure! Whole histories either rewritten or omitted. The seminaries too have truncated their teaching. We were totally amazed to find out how dumbed down even allegedly Reformed Christian seminaries are these days.

I was not aware of the state of the Reformed seminaries. That's pretty sad.

Yeah ... that was a big letdown when me and the De Wife found out about this. And yet, overall the deterioration in the Reformed faith circles has been going on for decades. It is just the a mirror image of a failing culture. The Calvinist/Protestant Reformation presuppositional faith was thrown out the window. What is left is the secular sewer of 'anything goes.' There is nothing left in the way of scaffolding on which to build anything like a credible Law Order. If everything, and I mean everything collapses, I would not be surprises. The corruption is too massive and invades every nook and cranny of the civilization.
