* ToughActToFollow: Compare the high praise, relatability, and the reputation ''Film/BoyzNTheHood'' or even ''Film/PoeticJustice'' has to this film and it's stark. It's especially apparent with how both predecessors also handled the messages much more subtly compared to ''Higher Learning'' basically [[{{Anvilicious}} being more face on about it's messages]] (especially with [[spoiler: the ending ''literally'' spelling out "UNLEARN"]]), it's hard to see why some remember the former two than ''Higher Learning''.

* ToughActToFollow: Compare UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Even if you can ignore the high praise, relatability, and hairstyles of the reputation ''Film/BoyzNTheHood'' or even ''Film/PoeticJustice'' has to male characters, which by themselves date this film and it's stark. It's especially apparent with how both predecessors film, there is also handled the messages much more subtly compared heavily closeted lesbian relationship - not to ''Higher Learning'' basically [[{{Anvilicious}} being more face on about it's messages]] (especially with [[spoiler: mention the ending ''literally'' spelling out "UNLEARN"]]), it's hard to see why some remember the former two than ''Higher Learning''.(literally) black-and-white racial politics and general exaggeration and cartoonishness, which will have "[[PoorMansSubstitute poor man's]] Creator/SpikeLee" spilling from your mouth within seconds.
