To Pulitzer candidate Burt:I agree wholeheartedly when you say, "...I regard the first four years of liberal arts instruction as an unholy waste of time and money...." If our now-government-run (formerly "public") schools cannot teach our kids to read, speak, communicate, write, handle money, think on their feet, work with their hands, understand and argue our Constitutional system, know our history, learn responsible life skills, etc., in 12-years' time . . . then why the bloody hell do we demand they go to college and get stupider, learning mostly meaningless rubbish and hare-brained failed notions?Few of our young people -- those who would become doctors, scientists, architects, engineers, and the like -- should be going to college at all anyhow. This is a reflection on our woefully ineffective educational system. If we could only .... If we could only take that statist authority away from Fedgov and our teachers' unions .... Have the states compete with one another for excellence in education. Our youth need to learn practical things and to know how to think rationally and critically, and how to live by their wits, and not rely on the dumbed-down groupthink of progressivist dogma.We will never convince the ~30% of liberals how delusional their thinking is. We're wasting our time trying to win them over. Our problem is with the Establishment staus-quo Republicans who are not smart enough to fight back against this relentless tide of pathological progressivism, unless of course they are progressivists themselves.Burt, you're too good. You raise too many good questions. You could write a script about what is going on now, but nobody would believe it.
