When I read Ann Coulter's column this morning, I thought that it couldn't possibly be true that Angela Davis was a professor of "History of Consciousness". No way a university could be that stupid.

And for what it's worth; no, we're not that big of go-getters. We're just trying to get to the real nuts & bolts of education.
Once they're at that age, there are a number of excellent private schools that aren't terribly effected by this; Patrick Henry, Grove City, New Saint Andrews, Hillsdale, and a host of others, I hope.
Yea, for the real nuts and bolts you can get that at home. So much of what you learn in college isn't really of any use (unless you need chaff for something).
