EXACTLY. this entire argument is based on the notion that a college degree makes you "educated". technically yes but i know some post-grads who can repeat everything their teacher tells them, but put them out in the real world and they're awkard and their overducation causes them to form misguided opinions of different situations and people.
(i.e. some people who know a lot about the extremisms of SOME muslims will tends to think that ALL muslims are violent and blood-thirsty and that violence and terrorism are in fact the objective of the muslim religion)
i'll go on record as saying any day that a college education makes you no more educated than sitting in the garage makes you a car. to some degree, a college degree just means you know how to listen to someone and remember what they told you. it doesn't mean you know how to think for yourself or understand real life situations.
one of the smartest people i knew was my great grandmother who never made it past 6th grade.
