The polling data from college campuses over the past few years paint a bleak picture of the future. More than half of college students sympathize with the terrorist group Hamas, and more than a third support violence and hate speech. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of college students identify as “gender fluid,” 44% of them report symptoms of depression, and 15% say they are considering suicide.

How did we get here? Who’s responsible for what these students have been taught leading up to college? And who’s responsible for assessing whether college applicants have the capacity to think critically and independently?
