This is Peter Hitchens sneering at higher education, basically because it might make people start thinking for themselves and rejecting Traditional Morality: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1321137/PETER-HITCHENS-Is-university-really-good-thing-I-spent-years-learning-Trot.htmlI suppose I can agree with one thing. It was a waste of taxpayers' money to try to educate Hitchens!
