It’s officially graduation season, and for many American parents, it’s also the season for thoughts about college. Which hallowed halls of top-tier higher education should their children consider? Truly, it’s a dilemma: There are just far too many non-woke, non-insane colleges to choose from, and at such reasonable pricing, too!

Oh, never mind, I’m just kidding. At this point, many “elite” colleges look increasingly like a blend of a high-budget goat rodeo, a drunken clown show bereft of any actual drunk and/or clownish fun, or an endless loop of reruns from some of the wilder seasons of Jerry Springer’s once-legendary fisticuffs-centric talk show, all for a grand total of around $90,000 a year.
