Quotation of the Day for May 27, 2012
"I wonder if some of the protesting students dimly sense this themselves; anyone who misled them into believing that our current educational shambles will equip them to thrive in the modern world is their real enemy, not Jean Charest. In Canada, we spend lavishly on universities that have forgotten their raison d'etre. They teach useless subjects, often badly. They are run by careerists not scholars. They practise grade inflation on a Weimar Republic scale. They are hothouses of political correctness and conformist thinking. They lack financial accountability."
- Ian Hunter, professor emeritus with the University of Western Ontario's law faculty, responding to the spring 2012 student protests in Quebec.
