I am no Santorum fan, but you should at least reflect what he said accurately. He stated not every one should be encouraged to go to university for their chosen career path. i.e. plumbers should not feel pressure to get a BA. This concept is not entirely wrong and is embraced by very liberal cultures in Europe. US culture has a misguided impression that everyone has to go to university to be successful in life.



Errr, no. He actually said that 'satan' has taken over academics, and other such nonsense.


prooflink with a quote? He talked a bunch about Satan and about how corrupt some institutions are (one can easily find it by searching for satana+santorum+academics), but I can't find a quote where he explicitly says Satan has taken over academics.
