To simplify: the thing that made American higher-ed unique was the institutional organization around education as a PUBLIC GOOD, rather than as an elite training ground, or job training.
This aspect is nearly dead, killed by a thousand budget cuts.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Emmanuel Garcia is an autistic 15 year old who went missing two months ago.
Houston PD found him the next day, contacted ICE who then sent him to Office of Refugee Resettlement.
His Mom didn’t know where he was for a week.
Wasn’t allowed to see him.
Today he’s finally home!

First of all, as someone with PTSD, *that's generally not how that works.*
And secondly, maybe they should look into a different career path in the medical field if they can't handle being around patients.

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
