Like everything else in politics, there is a nice gray area in education. The internet is very bad at gray areas, and tends toward extremism. The gray area here is between "pursuit of knowledge, become better citizens" and "career school, what is history for anyway". Universities used to be #1, and have shifted toward #2 over the years. Now people see it more as the default to be the career school, and laugh at people who are in favor of learning for the sake of learning. Then the problem is that while both approaches are relatively valid, they lead to different conclusions to the answer of "who should go to college".
