Smart and wise are two very different things.

I went to college too, but it didn’t make me a flaming Marxist with zero economic sense.

Okay. Now that we've identified the problem....

I guess that doesn’t say much for higher education since California has been run into the ground by those same smart people.

lemme get this straight...mexifornian legislators are sooooooo well-”ejucated” that they drove business away to Texas, granted illegal aliens free education and managed to make the state the worst to do business in and most taxed state in obama’s 57 states...

another AP imbecile article

What this shows is that much of higher education has been co-opted and corrupted by Marxist professors. The current financial state of CA is testament to how well such ideas play in the real world. I would count “higher education” in this instance as a net negative rather than something to be touted.
