Are we sending too many unprepared/underprepared students to college?

So you would hand everyone who doesn’t drop out a college diploma in some major? Isn’t that what makes a high school diploma much less valuable and relevant today? Rampant degree inflation (on top of rampant grade inflation) may make everyone feel good for a little while, but how does it ultimately help anyone or the society? Do we then all need to go to graduate schools to remedy what we didn’t learn but should have learned in college (if they can be made to do so)? What keeps us from doing the same thing to the graduate schools? Then what?
