"In university, we only received heavy theoretical training and a lot of Ho Chi Minh’s ideology with communist party history"

"its colleges and universities are failing to prepare youth for more complex work"

This is the future for the US too ;-)

From what I can tell this is the US today.

I support what you said--higher ed in the US is kind of a shell of its former self, not on par with Ho Chi Min or whatever, but the rampant infusion of PC ideology has wrecked rational dialog.

Wait, your argument is that PC culture has wrecked all rational discourse? In all cases, at every University? I do see cases where what you would refer to as 'PC ideology' has eschewed rational discourse with cleverly disguised emotionally charged discourse. But to say that PC culture has unilaterally reduced the value of college to near zero, is quite a stretch.

Agreed, U.S. higher ed has been somewhat emptied of its thought diversity, in my own experience.
