We do not need a nation of college graduates. You might as well claim that every one of us needs to know how to do welding, how to prune bushes, or how to drive a truck.

College is specialized education for specific needs. That’s why there are so many different colleges, so we can choose one specific to what we want to accomplish. Engineering, math, law school, history, psychology, teaching — each person goes to some specific college, and doesn’t learn the skills of the other colleges.

If every person needs some college education, it’s only because the K-12 education system has failed. That was supposed to give us all the basics necessary to move on to any field, and if it isn’t, the answer isn’t to dumb down college and force everybody to do another 4 years of schooling.

We’d probably teach everything we needed if we didn’t waste so much of public school time teaching stuff that the state has no business worrying about. And we could also start failing kids who don’t learn, so they can be held back and learn, rather than having to go off to community college.

But really, Obama doesn’t care about education here — college professors are largely liberals, and he’s just looking out for their jobs.

clearly, one of the many reasons tuition is so high is that you have tenured professors who are paid way too much. So to follow what Hussein says, professors need to have their salaries and pensions cut.

So, what so you, so lame racist liberal nutjob university professors, who rallied so much to vote for Hussein, are you willing to listen to your Dear Leader so that these poor students can afford education? Distribution of wealth, as you always proclaim? LOL. Friggin hypocrites, all of you.

Yes, rally to cut liberal professors salaries. Start with that nutjob racist lady at Rutgers that yelled at Paul Ryan for his wine and dinner.

What he was actually saying was directed to the Plantation Owners at the universities, “Give me some numbers to help me win re-election, and I’ll give you ten times more money.”

The old massah university professors heard this, took another drink of good whiskey, belched, and said, “What’s good for the massahs is good for the sharecroppers.”
