Victor Davis Hanson: Ivy League Populism
Primetime Politics ^ | 2/21/08 | Victor Davis Hanson

Barack Obama may have gone to exclusive private schools. He and his wife may both be lawyers who between them have earned four expensive Ivy League degrees. They may make about a million dollars a year, live in an expensive home, and send their kids to prep school. But they are still apparently firsthand witnesses to how the American dream has gone sour. Two other Ivy League lawyers, Hillary and Bill, are multimillionaires who have found America to be a land of riches beyond most people’s imaginations.

It doesn’t take much to expose the silliness of Ivy League schools and those fixated on them. Look at what they produce. And then reflect on universities such as Duke, Stanford, U. of Texas, UNC, Ann Arbor, U Va., UCLA, Vanderbilt, U of Chicago, Washington U, Emory, William and Mary, et al. Then note where leaders of corporate America went to school—seldom an Ivy League, often Podunk U.
