This is just liberal 0bama infatuation. Both the writer(and every other reporter at the New York Times) and 0bama used their “elite” education with the associated Bachelor’s Degree from the “right” school to get where they are today. Eliminating the college degree as a job qualification would mean that they would face competition from far more qualified applicants with more common sense and real world experience than the establishment with their Ivy League pedigree will ever have. 0bama won’t change this, and the writer is delusional for thinking he will even consider it. After all, 0bama scammed the current system for all it was worth. Besides, that would also mean that college degree-less Rush Limbaugh would be on equal footing with the reporters from the NYT.
It sounds like you don’t actually disagree with what Murray is suggesting, you just don’t think it will happen any time soon. The same criticism could be made of the entire conservative agenda over at least the next four years.
Murray is a scholar at American enterprise Institute, NOT a reporter
Uhh, Charles Murray is a conservative. Or did you not read the whole “American Enterprise Institute” part down there at the bottom?

Ahem. Do you know who Charles Murray _is_? He is the co-author of “The Bell Curve”, perhaps one of the most UN-liberal books of the Twentieth Century.
He was attacked and villified by the Left for that book as viciously as any conservative in recent memory for exploring one of the most taboo subjects of all: race and intelligence.
No liberal, he.
