Your last paragraph is filled with a lot of ideologically loaded terms. "Democratize", "Right-wing"...
Okay here's a good example:
A company hires and pays a person to do job a, said person has skills and knowledge of topics x and y and gets the job done using skills x and y.
The same company hires person b, who doesn't have skills x and y, but still has the accreditation. Person b, doesn't get the job done, still gets paid and the company did not have the problem solved, or service/product to sell.
Further, if we don't set rigorous standards for admission and graduation the smarter people have their accreditations devalued. Additionally, employers and other agencies will not know who they are getting.
The idea lowering standards so 'anyone' can get into anything is dangerous, and creates chaos. It's anti-progressive.
