Making College Count

WHen Hillary Clinton claimed to be working for "hard-working Americans", Oh Blah Blah's camp claimed this was a racist code-word. (Which betrays a certain pessimism about African Americans and their work ethicc from Oh Blah Blah.) Tonight Michelle used the phrase herself to describe the people that Oh Blah Blah works for. Michelle never broached the issue of higher education, and why Oh Blah Blah thinks everyone deserves a Bachelor's Degree. What will it mean to have a college education in a world in which it has been dumbed down to the point where it means no more than a Hiigh School education does now. A better goal would be promoting young people studying math and science, leaving non-entities like gender studies and African American studies behind as a relic of the politically correct 90s.
