The grammar above made that particular post simply reek of irony. That being said, I've never understood the resent towards higher education amongst those who don't have it. When I was growing up, I can distinctly remember that the parents with little or no education were the ones who who most stridently preached the value of an education to their children.
There's a certain level of jealousy, plus a feeling that colleges are just Marxist indoctrination centers.
Education is a good thing. In many cases, it isn't all that expensive. Sending your kids to a run-of-the-mill state school such as Michigan State is well within the means for most middle-class family. Conversely, the high cost of a prestigious school such as Harvard or MIT is worth it for all of the doors that such an education opens.
