Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. What youth learns, age does not forget. Scccccratccch the most clever postmodern-relativist professor’s Mercedes with a key, and you will see how fast the mask of relativism (with its pretense that there can be neither right nor wrong) and the cloak of radical tolerance come off. We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table. The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it. The law of love could be best understood and learned through little children. Not everybody needs to go to university; they can get out and start working straight away. I think we need to recognize that learning is a lifelong goal, a lifelong experience. You are what you eat and read.
