The American Dream College? Not so says Rick

The American Dream is to be able to send your child to college to better themselves with a college education. It is important in getting the right job and also a rounded education that hopefully enables them to understand the nuances of the world. Or am I dreaming? On the president's efforts to boost college attendance, Santorum said, "I understand why Barack Obama wants to send every kid to college, because of their indoctrination mills, absolutely ... The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country." Is this man real? In the days of Henry the VIII the discussion was if the peasants should be allowed to read the Bible or should it be reserved for only the Priests. This same thought was behind the Church hunting down the Cathars for daring to believe that they did not Priests to tell them of God's words. Evidently the war on education is still on and if Rick Santorum had his way there would be no independent university and only "Christian beliefs" would be taught. Is that not scary to think that so many people in this country are supporting him?
