Nobel is not exactly an ‘unbiased’ reference anymore

Since they gave both AlGore and Obama a prize for essentially nothing except PC crapola

Institute standardized testing ‘after’ graduation to determine what one knows and doesn't know and there will be a very sobering come down for elite universities. Guaranteed. Lots of kids are not oriented towards GPA and/or SAT scores in high school, and bloom later. This is one of the things that is great about our society - that we don't pigeon-hole people based on earlier life choices and experiences. This is why we are a creative society.

To this sophomore I say, ‘celebrate diversity’! Let's have people from all walks of life and from many different educational backgrounds add their input to the fabric of life. We don't need a homogeneous group of like-educated people running things.

Science Nobels still mean a lot.

Literary and Peace prizes, not so much.
