In the June 1966 issue of the Plain Truth, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote that higher education was “fast approaching a crisis.” In “Recapture True Values,” he wrote:
Educational institutions, generally, have grown so large that the regimented assembly-line processes have replaced individualized instruction. The student has lost his identity. Development of personality and initiative is largely sacrificed.
Moral bars have toppled. University campus students say bluntly that with the waning of church and parental influence, “We decide for ourselves on codes of morality.” Stuffing minds with crass materialism, while moral, spiritual and emotional development is neglected, produces unbalanced education and is criminally dangerous.

The approach by higher education—even as far back as the 1960s—was “criminally dangerous.” The university experience enables lawless behavior and thinking. Today, this “criminally dangerous” spirit prevails in our institutions of higher learning, but it’s much more toxic. The madness that unfolded at the University of Michigan, the University of Sussex and Trinity College this week was facilitated, either directly or indirectly, by professors and administrators who went to college in the 1960s. Look at the fruits of their education: lawlessness, intolerance and chaos.
And it’s exactly these “educated” people who run our world.
