You're shitting me, right? 

Well, we'll skip a LOT of what's been happening in that regard and go straight to med schools. Let's just say, sufficing it to say, 
standards have been lowered in ALL facets of education, from lowering the grade requirements of passing to outright getting rid of 
grades entirely.

You mean THOSE standards?

Let's skip to higher education. are you seriously claiming that there's been ZERO standards being lowered in higher education?

I should just PLONK you here and now, and just ask you look it up yourself.


WHY has the subject of standards being lowered been breached if it has NEVER happened?

Just a few headlines to PROVE me right:


Medical School Admissions Standards Lowered
If the standards to actually satisfactorily pass medical school, and the licensing requirements are being lowered, then I 
definitely have a problem with that.
THE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS ARE EASIER THAN ANY TEST IN MEDICAL SCHOOL. THE PASS RATES ARE VERY HIGH. IT SAYS LITTLE TO NOTHING 
ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO PRACTICE MEDICINE.

Should Med Schools Strive To Produce Competent Physicians Or Social Activists?
Instead of tightening the admissions criteria, the administration responded by LOWERING THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENT to passing Part 
One and JUST TAKING, BUT NOT NECESSARILY PASSING, PART TWO. Nary, a peep was heard from the faculty about this lowering of 
standards.

Medical Schools Forced to Lower Their Standards
Faced with increased tuition, declining enrollment and a lack of qualified candidates, medical schools across the country have been 
forced to drastically lower their admissions standards in order to attract incoming students.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
