"put them down"

As has happened quite frequently, a few years ago a home-schooled student won the National Spelling Bee. This time it was a girl from Wisconsin. So a reporter from one of the state's rags decided to ask some clown with the state public school association how he felt about her winning. The jerk was contemptuous and dismissive of her feat and said it didn't amount to anything. If I had the power, I would fired that major-league idiot on the spot. You can be sure if she had been a public-school student, the guy would have been singing her praises as a great example of what the public school system produces.

What a moron. Again the most important issue here was over looked by both sides. Wherever she was educated it worked well. Her education and knowledge is the important thing and should be to all involved.
I would have fired him on the spot if he worked for me.
