A few weeks ago I was out with a buddy in New York and met some young lady (friend of his girlfriend). She was in the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Here is her enlightened view of government schooling,
Idiot - If rich people sent their kids to public schools, then the schools would be fine.
In other words, ALL THE PROBLEMS in public schools, from the rampant violence to the fact that kids are graduating unlettered, un-numbered, and even un-fluent in English, is the fault of everyone who sends their kids to private schools. Damn those dreaded rich people!!!
Yeah, none of the problems germinate from the stone-cold heathen communists that run the schools (or from the inherent flaws of such a massive, third party- or taxpayer-funded, bureaucratic system).
This is Harvard folks, our BEST college.
I have an undeveloped theory that the Harvard grad school students are actally the big "problem" with Harvard. First of all, the undergrads are the smarter ones. Most 18 year-old nerds who gain admittance aren't thinking about the grand social order of the universe. But the grad students are all from less reputable schools and are seemingly hellbent on becoming world-shaping elitists - like the loser I quoted above.
She also let out this doozie,
Idiot - I think a person can be highly educated and still not have the slightest idea who Napoleon was.
I have a friend whose girlfriend is also a Harvard grad student. Get this, she is a registered socialist. My little theory has legs; look at the grad students at other colleges and you'll see much of the same.
Who the heck is that midget on the horse anyway?

Politics and religion being impolite topics for discussion, how is it that you always manage to come across some socialist who is happy to provide their opinions on either or both?
Talk about non sequiturs, I hope you trounced her good.
How is it that I come across socialists in Boston and New York?
Surely you jest!
I always provoke them. Such behavior is the core of my self-amusement.
The rabid socialist rantings of vacuous Harvard students is hardly newsworthy or surprising. Have you perused the puerile pages of the Harvard Crimson lately? The pages are sopping wet with socialist drivel and the superiority of Harvard’s re-education camps.
Haven't perused them in a while. I actually had one post pulled from the Crimson two years ago when I was but a mere fledgling blogger.
