Some of his other points are valid, however, I would like to POINT OUT that

COMMUNITY COLLEGES have been teaching focused all along.
I have taken courses at both community colleges (several of them) and also at an R1 university.

Community colleges are vastly superior for the student in almost every way.
The only thing they don't have is highly specialized course materials / labs, etc.

We also foster COMMUNITY in our colleges: there are numerous clubs and activities going on all the time.
I'm the faculty advisor of our anime club.
We have a holiday sing-along (open to all and the public) this Thursday evening.
We have e-sports and tournaments and open video game play events regularly.
We have lots of volunteer opportunities for fostering community as well.
Anyone isolated *here* is so by choice.
