I would too, but we know it won't ever happen. Not really, but the record stands that he is a hypocrite at best.
According to what I read, his attitude was that "If my child wanted to be an auto mechanic, I would still be proud" which......fails to address how wanting people to be college-educated is elitist. Auto mechanics have to go to school to do so, especially as cars become more and more complicated. Being educated is a good thing, and giving everyone the opportunity to go to college is a wonderful thing.
I've noticed that, too. And it just....bothers me, since Social Darwinism goes completely against the teachings of Christ.
