One of my granddaughters graduated Cum Laud from an expensive private Lutheran University during Memorial Day weekend.

No Anthem was sung, no pledge of allegiance. Not a word was mentioned in memory of those who gave life or limb to keep the country free. And no prayer was said for the graduating class.

But! The keynote speaker was an alumni who is in the State Department in Washington, D.C.. Her speech covered the glories of working for the government, and she cordially solicited the class to apply to the State Department.

My granddaughter didn’t learn anything of value there. She says her mother and dad are givers, and she is a taker; and she calls those of us who see through Barack Obama racists!

I would say whatever education she may have had prior to her freshman year was more than undone at this “Chriatian” University.

I certainly hope she is the exception rather than the rule!

Education is another one of those darn near worthless degrees.

I assume it wasn't one of the Concordias, but an ELCA school. Unfortunately, I have heard about other kids who did not get much of a Christian education at one of those.
