Our universities are still the best of the best. Why do you think students from all over the world come to the US for advanced education?
No, our problem is not our colleges. Our problem is our public education system, which has been suffering over the last 15 years due to constant cutbacks because of Republican assholes who want to put more emphasis on religiously-backed private schools.

I'd like to add that one of the main reasons for atheists, me in particular, get so fucking pissed at the religious is because they are converting our children into dolts.
Stop trying to inject creationism into the public school system. I would say you can teach your children in private-school whatever nonsense you want but that would be condoning child abuse so I won't.
The disservice you are doing to these children is tragic.
