Look what they’ve done to it.
But at least they charge high tuition for this maleducation, so it’s got that going for it.

Communism On Parade
The indoctrination of our children continues.
It should be at least as shameful to declare oneself a Marxist as it is to declare oneself a Nazi. But they’ve taken over the educational system.

A review of a frightening book:
California isn’t just a basket case, it’s a proselytizing basket case, with its environmental zealots, community organizers, and wishful economic thinkers aggressively selling their ideas to other states and to the federal government. As Laer demonstrates, while the recession is slowing the other forty-nine states from buying into California’s governing philosophy, the Obama government is an enthusiastic supporter. Another four years of Obama, and California won’t be the only bankrupt crazy place in America.
…Crazifornia describes a dysfunctional state, one that can best be summed up as a banana republic governed, not by oligarchs, but by a toxic mix of environmental fascists, greedy unions, corrupt or ideology-driven legislators, and all-powerful bureaucrats. But before you get too angry at these jackals, perhaps you should reserve your wrath for the ones who truly deserve it: the California voters.
I fear the state is lost. I just hope we can contain the infection.
Chief Spreading Bull
Senator Brown has targeted Mrs. Warren’s phony claims of “Indian” heritage; her $350,000-plus salary at HLS; her work for an insurance company in matters involving (yikes) asbestos; and other trivia. What he hasn’t said and probably won’t say: she is a nag. A scold. An ideologue. An advocate of a nanny state beyond a Swedish socialist’s wildest imagination. A bureaucratic Bruegel who paints an America of victims — pathetic figures in a landscape of unremitting hostility. Also, Professor Warren is an economic idiot.
That’s why the Left worships her.

Commendable indeed.
There’s A Strong Case For Command/Control Regulation
If you’re intellectually lazy.
Sadly, most people are. Particularly the ones who fancy themselves to be intellectuals.
Higher-Education Bubble Update
These people don’t need school — they need finishing school.
The Value Of A College Education
Here is a poster child for it. Note that, like the president, she blames everyone but herself.

…make better teachers than know-alls.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve always found that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it to someone else.

…and economic patriotism. As Kevin points out, another name for “economic patriotism” is fascism. But these clowns are so historically unaware that they have no idea how they come off those those who do understand both economics and history.
Science As An Ideology
Here’s an excellent example of the lack of self-awareness or irony on the part of social scientists. Unfortunately, too many in the climate “science” community are more social scientists than real ones.
