FTA: Proud principal T.J. Florie called to give her the news.

Having a degree from Harvard today is a CURSE, it is not even close to what it used to be!!
Immigrants from Nigeria have the highest education/income level of any discrete ethnicity in the U.S. Cameroonians aren’t doing bad, either: I know a couple of families in my church, and they’re well educated and well-off.
