>The United States has only one legitimate use for higher education. Over half of the candidates for Ph.D.’s are from India and China. We have to educate foreigners. As for our own children, why educate them? We are going to return to being an agricultural society and have no need to read or write. When every member of the working class is happy to have a bowl of rice a day, the people that run this country will be happy.

They don't want children to learn how to work on a farm though. I assume they'll make it illegal for people to learn to work at all (that will buy young people's support).

Somehow the gub-mint will have to feed them.
