Someone did a survey of Americans’ knowledge of geography recently, whether they could point to Iran on a map. none of the segments got as high as 40% of their group getting it right. Wouldn’t you think that a much higher percentage of the college-educated could point to Iran on a map? Say, 90%?

How's free college going to help them?

Educate them?

The vast majority of people aren't cut out for college.

The withering lack of empathy for them is ugly and shocking.

But sure, let's take people who are already going to do well in life and give them even more advantages. That's the central message of socialism!
