How dysfunctional is the education system? The 9-sentence piece of flotsam pictured above, a “Final Paper” for a course called AFAM 41 at the University of North Carolina, received an A-. Who knows what will happen to this brilliant young man? Someday he might teach Constitutional Law and run for president…

Bitterly clinging to any hope I can find and this is a definite bright spot. h/t to the kid's parental unit.

Someone should send that to O'Reilly, he'd probably give that kid a college scholarship for that answer!
Damn, another one.

Make the dollar bill smaller in proportion to it's comparative value to what it was worth in the fifties. Save LOTS! But then, everyone would need to carry a microscope to see the denomination.
I've never understood the relationship between education and sports. What DO they have to do with each other?
Well, in the college system, sports brings in alumni money that helps support the college, especially if you have a winning team.
So the school's funding hinges on who can throw a ball better. Sad.
The end result of an affirmative action education, it's a riot to listen to these so called "Student" athletes talk during interviews. Now with the new common core standards, I'm expecting their communication skills to degrade to monosyllabic grunts.
Umm....is "AFAM" what it sounds like it might be?
IS it racist of me to even ask that?
"The evening of December" very much like "The Winter of our discontent", it must be said in an Elizabethan tone to convey its import. As in, "Twas the evening of December, Rosa Park stood their gazing at white people and there seats."
Any questions?
Nice touch with there and their. But be careful - you don't want to end up in Remedial AFAM 41.
Now let's have a look at some of obama's school records.
Isn't that is Masters Syllabus?
I can't help wondering about the minus. Why an A-? Why not an A or an A+? What was missing from this paper that caused it to be penalized? If this kid made a three-pointer in NC's last NCAA tournament game, he should complain to the head of the department - clearly he was robbed.
On the evening of December...
Maybe it was about someone named December Rosa Parks.
The poor moppet must have never learned to cut and paste.
"It was a dark and stormy night"...even Snoopy writes better.....This is what I expect a fourth grader to write...
Exactly what I was thinking when I read it NSS!
the players are "receiving a valuable education."
Well, they are, but not the one everyone assumes. They are being educated as to the nature of the corrupt, hypocritical ways of our formerly respected institutions.
