There is no presidential requirement for a bachelor’s degree. There is a requirement, however, for a birth certificate proving citizenship.
Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches-
Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches-Had none upon thars.
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small.
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.
But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”
And whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
When the Star-Belly children went out to play ball,
Could a Plain- Belly get in the game…? Not at all.
You only could play if your bellies had stars
And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars.
When the Star-Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts
Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts,
They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches.
They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches.
They kept them away. Never let them come near.
And that’s how they treated them year after year.
Let me say first of all: I know a lot of people who never spent one hour in College and are smarter than a lot of people with a degree who are, simply put, “educated idiots”. Now......
I like Scott Walker. But, as a teacher, I tell my kids: “Finish school; get your diploma because if one guy applies for a job who finished his H.S. education and you come in with a G.E.D., the HR person will choose the one who stuck in there and got his education, over the guy who dropped out of the race close to the Finish Line.” It says something for a person who disciplines himself/herself to finish a task, they started, that can be helpful to them for the rest of their life.
The media will ride this like they did Sarah Palin resigning, and not finishing, her term as Governor. Having said all of that, I think this issue will have minimal damage on a Walker run for the White House.
