They went to Harvard, which would make them "smart" at least for the purposes of job application. They had the finest education money can buy, yet they were wholly deluded about the nature of the world they lived in.

Over-educated idiots! Hope the child is okay - they should have never put him in such a dangerous situation.

Reminds me of the guy who hobnobbed with the bears in Alaska. I don't care that he got killed - he was too stupid to live. But he had to get his girlfriend killed too.

I'm quite dismayed at the quality of tertiary/university/college teachings especially as it comes to political and moral issues. Believe it or not, I have encountered US-based college kids who are evangelical Christians (that makes them about 7-8 years my junior). They are all firmly Bible-believing even to the Jerry Falwell level, and then talking like man-made global warming is proven beyond reasonable doubt, and who really has no American patriotism apart from the vague "Yes, I like my country because it is simply where I'm in" and are never quite proud of the country.
