But I don't know if the information was shared by a person with a college degree.

Dumb idea. The college degree thing.

They can potentially only have colleges that teach select few approved topics with opinions dictated by the university and never have to worry about dissent.

I'm a free thought with free exchange of ideas kinda intellectual.

I like to color outside of the lines without having to worry about having my hand slapped.

We need to be more concerned about teaching people HOW to think and less inclined to demand that people think about only what's acceptable to a government run institution.

Boring and dangerous.

Self-annihilation begins with prescribed opinions.
