A Shame and a Travesty
Reader comment on item: Columbia University vs. America
Submitted by E Siegmund (United States), Apr 5, 2003 at 10:08
It is both a shame and a travesty that we entrust the education of our youth to people like Nicholas DeGenova. Perhaps DeGenova's recent grandstanding will cause more to focus on the deterioration of our system of "higher" education.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
