Heres the author's (a well known Taoist scholar) take on what he believes Lao Tzu would say about college:
"The next of your great troubles is education. Those who want young men to go to college are are like a lot of bandits preying on the land. College is a school of struggle. Exams are struggle, athletics are struggle, fraternities are struggle. Instead of teaching a boy to unlearn all the vicious competitive ways he has acquired from childhood, it reinforces them. Instead of turning his mind inward, it fills him with ambition. Instead of making him quiet and opening his ears to intuitive understanding, it disturbs him and stifles his inner powers. The factual subject matter of college courses is harmless enough, but the perversion of character by college life is terrible indeed."
