How Our Schools Failed: UC San Diego's Alarming Report Explained

Episode 720

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Giordano sits down with Steve McGuire of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni to expose the catastrophic collapse in academic preparedness across America's education system. Using UC San Diego's alarming new data showing freshmen unable to add single digit numbers, round to the nearest hundred, or subtract fractions, this episode examines how decades of lowered standards, ideological distractions, and exploding education spending have produced a generation unprepared for college or citizenship. Nick and Steve break down why taxpayers spend more than $1.5 trillion a year on education with worse results than ever, why there is no public outrage, and what reforms are urgently needed to restore competence, knowledge, and real accountability.
