Yeah, I'm not really sure where that narrative even comes from - I don't think we can argue that the country is being "dumbed down" while Stanford, etc don't have trouble filling their freshman class. Ironically, the people perhaps pushing the narrative are often themselves HYPSM grads and beneficiaries of elite status. Same with the folks who claim "the college you go to doesn't matter".
