Reason: None provided.

Totally agree and not just for the reasons in the meme, but also because of the actual content that colleges teach. Almost everything they teach about personal and social problems like poverty, addiction, psychology, inequality explains them by exagerrating factors that are out of people's control ("systemic" factors), while downplaying or outright ignoring factors that are within people's control (hard work, personal responsibility, being a force for change in your personal life). If someone's life is bad, it's always society's fault, and if someone's life is good they always obtained their good life through privilege. They deny that anyone ever earned anything through hard work, or that anyone's life is shitty because of personal choices they made. It's completely disempowering because it sends the message that nothing in your life is a result of personal choice or work, everything is assumed to be imposed on you by external factors. They downright mock the concept of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
