The problem with diatribes against education is that they tend to be just that: diatribes. This article is a string of unsupported opinionated assertions with no persuasive power except for those already inclined to agree with the author. An article should be an opportunity for reasoned discussion that can change people's thinking by appealing to what is reasonable within them, not just a wall of words to reinforce existing biases and bludgeon those in the target population. I know, I know, ... this is supposed to be humor, but you yourself say you were starting out to make it a serious essay but apparently recognized that it just came across as mean, so you changed the label to humor, which it is not. I read this article because although I am left of Bernie and have multiple degrees, I recognized in the title something that might have something to say to our sick culture. I was wrong.
