I can't tell if you're putting down community colleges or not.  Having
taught at a variety of places, I'm not going to defend CC-style teaching
(I call it "good teaching" but others disagree), but simply point out
that information content is just one thing that teachers deal with.  One
of the others might be called
problem-solving/critical-thinking/scientific-method/whatever.  Thus,
while some content is important and some isn't, this "thinking" stuff is.
