Answer:
I think he´s (partly) right
Explanation:
Partly right because yes, colleges are flooded with individuals who seem to be out of place and not learning anything that they could have learned outside the school building. Murray´s essay follows quite clearly the opinion of Noam Chomsky. The strategical creation of a separated American class system is a daring theory that needs some (personal) coments because of its elitist element, i.e. we who study have (keep) the power.
Two examples:
México is a democracy in name where the powerful and rich people send their kids - no matter how stupid they are - to college schools and private universities that only exist as the entry door to a well-paid job. And even if you don´t go to university you can always buy your degree, as former president Fox did.
Germany is a real democracy that has a social education system. It is costly but the economic support (bafug in German) for students is based on how much your parents earn. If your parents are poor you get more money per month to study and vice versa.
Now kindly look at the American educational system and see if it resembles more the Mexican or the German system.
Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would improve the overall standard of living for minimum wage workers. These workers would more easily afford their monthly expenses, such as rent, car payments, and other household expenses.
