to those who have jobs? She said that she has seen it first hand, because she has a good job that gives her health insurance.

****** "As a government employee, I'm granted health care and I see firsthand that for one to have health care, you need to have jobs," the 25-year-old shared. *****

Later in the competition, she also was asked what she considers feminism to be and whether she considers herself a feminist. McCullough said she likes to "transpose" the word feminism to "equalism."


That is the kind of idiocy we have to deal with. The woman is a scientist with The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Our STEM education focus needs to make room for the humanities and for civic education, because we keep getting stupid-smarts, people who can do math and science but who can't think their way out of a wet paper bag in any other field of thought, especially ethics, philosophy, history, and civics. (That is why so many tech geeks are libertarians.)
