Fraud in Academia

Walter Williams's article was on point! He is concerned about how the students of the American society have been lacking in school and recieving good grades for it. If colleges do what he said they should do students will get higher grades. He says, "To approach truth in grading, parents and employers should lower the average student's grade by one letter, and interpret a C grade as an F." In my opinion this is exactly what should happen. If your son or daughter is in a high academic school such as Harvard, they should be doing all they can to be getting good grades and become something more than just drunk kids on the weekends.
College is a time to have fun, yes and no. Yes becasue your on your own and your depending on yourself to do what you want, when you want. No because you dont have anyone to blame but yourself if something happens to you while in class. For example bad grades, these bad grades could be good grades just by taking the time to study for an hour or two everynight. It's pathetic that 71 percent failed that survey on basic world history. Jay Leno went around asking random people on the streets simple questions about our country and they got every answer wrong. For example, "how many stars on the American flag?" Someone said, "its moving to fast to count." Dummy! This is what happens when you change peoples grades in college.
