Universities certainly are seminaries of leftism. But the graduates they produce have been formed by standards so dumbed down that it doesn't matter whether they are "smart" or not. And they have never been educated, from kindergarten on. Their lives are so distorted they couldn't even form a coherent idea of what being educated would mean.
I feel like your description of today's graduates is much more accurate of the 60s radicals who are responsible for the degradation of educational standards and the perversion of minds we are now having to contend with.
Well I guess "smart and educated" is how they are perceived by society, like "smart kids go to college". It's a stereotype that most people have, including HRs in big companies who only hire college graduates. In their mind, a college degree is your credential for the job, the proof of your qualification, even if that job doesn't require any knowledge from college at all or it's totally irrelevant to your major.
With much respect, you're mistaken.
