I'm going to try to be Fair and Balanced™ here. I don't think this is the intent of what the people who are opposed to universal post-secondary are arguing, but it comes off that way. There's also some bizarre stereotyping and disenfranchising of the poor going on in here (e.g. "the poor would be better served being fast-tracked into trades/technical programs) that I'm going to be charitable and suggest is a result of people not bothering to add the "some" qualifier to, rather than anything malicious.
