By Egan, I assume you meant Kagan. I agree with you about her and Sotomayor, but what's wrong with Roberts? I thank God we have a conservative as the Chief Justice.

Sorry to say that "higher" education is not necessarily an education in MANY of our colleges and universities today, it's an indoctrination. Yes, a "higher education" has hurt society when the students are taught in classes like Chicano Studies or for that matter many of the "studies" classes. Women are taught that men are the enemy in Woman Studies, the USA is the enemy in Chicano Studies and so on. Much of our education system is not necessarily teaching students that we are a "United" States, it's teaching a Divided States in order to gain a specific segment of society to exploit for an agenda that is called "Change". Remember how much that word has been used in recent years? But it is their type of change and that agenda is only supporting certain segments of society. Divide and conquer, you see it happening at a fast pace today.

Have whole towns "Changed" in the past 30 years? Has much of the change been for the better? Some would say yes and point to one specific incident as an example, but as a whole the change in our social structure has made it much more fragile and that is a danger to all. But Divide and conquer is working and that is being taught in our schools.

This is what Rick Santorum was talking about when he called Obama a snob for saying everyone needs to go to college. It's just too bad he didn't explain it the way you did, Jean. Of course if he had he would have been vilified even more for exposing the realities of college.
