Boy, "better educated than previous generations"? Give me a bloomin' break.
There hasn't been any seriously good education in this country (except at a few places like Thomas Aquinas College in Ojai, CA and the two St. John's campuses) since about 1880 when the good Dr. Conant (president of Harvard) decided that science trumps all, and started heavily diluting what was a fairly decent liberal arts education.
