Now there's a real skill set for you. But can she speak and write English.

I'll bet the English that she writes is larded with jargon and is otherwise substandard. Since she has shown by her actions that she is not given to critical thinking, it would be very unusual to see a high level of English proficiency. See Richard Mitchell's The Graves of Academe for more insight into the peculiar mindset and mental limitations of educrats.

I read most of Richard Mitchell's books when I was younger. His books were almost a lifeline for me when I was going to college and experiencing the first wave of political correctness.

We live in a time of deconstruction and decay -- we may be on the cusp of a new Dark Age. Unlike the ancient alchemists, our alchemists seek to turn ignorance into virtue, as this article demonstrates. One can combat ignorance with knowledge, if not with wisdom, and from that struggle wisdom might grow. But that is hard work. Then there are those who exclude knowledge and the possibility of wisdom. They wallow in their own ignorance and call it a virtue, then they demand that you celebrate the superiority of their ignorance. Only the most evil of people say that the emperor has no clothes...
