What % of graduating students graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard?

Would seem to me to be a pretty impressive accomplishment in the context of higher education.

I'd say it says a lot about the opportunity for everyone - even Kenyan, Muslim, Socialist, Commie folks to take hold of the American Dream and succeed.

Given all the extremist conservatives' hyperbole, you'd think someone would note that along the way. Figured some "just pull yourself up be your bootstraps" ranter would get it. But no...

Yet I realize that would be heresy in the RW simplistic framework. And, simplistic is a core RW value.
