Greetings, Dear Reader,

Today’s a short one, but a dooz.

(Recall my column this week on how to create a credentialed class of dumb radicals.)

UC SCHOOLS PROUDLY GRADUATE IDIOTS

Somehow the foremost expert on the UC school system combined these two ideas within sentences of each other:

What has made the University of California exceptional is its commitment to increase access without sacrificing excellence. In recent years, California has proudly defied a national trend: On average, about 40 percent of its students are the first in their families to attend a four-year college. More than half qualify for free tuition. The percentages of underrepresented students have crept up, through a variety of initiatives. The California Dream Act gave undocumented students access to financial aid, as well as in-state tuition. Students on University of California campuses may struggle with basic math, but they are graduating at record rates.

And which mighty intellectual put these ideas together and got them published in The New York Times opinion section?
