I didn’t see this commentary at first because, well, I don’t make it a point to pay a lot of attemtion to CNN gasbag Glenn Beck. But sometimes, you’ve got to call out stupidity when you see it:
The Gates Foundation is working to cure malaria, develop new tuberculosis vaccines, and stop the spread of AIDS. Most of our colleges and universities are only working to spread the radical political views of some of their professors.
Really, Glenn? You think that’s all that our colleges are doing? Laughable.
It’s true that some colleges have different missions. Research universities focus a lot of their resources on … research. (Where does Glenn think that lots of this AIDS research is done, anyway?) Two-year colleges focus more on job-related education, etc. But colleges that exist “only to spread the radical political views of some of their professors”? I can’t say that I’ve run into too many of those.
Glen Beck is giant douchebag. Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is some dishonesty attached to it.
That is laughable! What a doof.
