QUOTE OF THE DAY: On Education

"Credentialing, not education, has become the primary business
of North American universities. … One wonders at the docility
of the students who evidently must be satisfied enough
with the credentials to be uncaring about the lack of education."
- Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities

    Very true.
    I wonder if there is a single university in the US that has not succumbed to the "PC" virus.
    I don't think there is.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
