A study showed that more than a third of US students completed their four years without learning how to "sift fact from opinion". As the author suggests, it's not so much the fault of the teaching in colleges as the lack of foundation in primary education.
Don't assume this is only an USian failing - it's clearly perceptible in UK universities, too.
...it’s the world that we live in and it’s unlikely to change
Noooooo! If this is true, the future looks ever bleaker: each succeeding generation of students becoming more gullible and less able to think properly.
