The worst case of this I have ever seen was when my kids were going through high school orientation. They had an older black gentleman lecture everyone on the importance of education. "Don't think that you need an Ivy League education. All that means is that their buildings are covered in Ivy League." I lost all faith in education at that point. Edit: education is nothing but make work jobs for women who didn't want to educate their own kids, or were to horrible to find a guy to have them with.
