A Lesson in Liberalism
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knew a young woman that was about to finish her last year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and her father was a rather staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her dad on his beliefs and his opposition to entitlement programs like welfare. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.

She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough.
She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because all of the studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of all her studying.

He then asked how her friend Mary, that was attending the same college, was doing. She replied that she was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied. Was very popular on campus and was at parties all the time. She often wouldn't show up
for classes because she was hung over.

He then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend that only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA. She fired back and said, "That wouldn't be fair. I worked really hard for mine and my friend, has done nothing".

...After a moment of silence, she replied, "I guess I will never vote Democrat again".
 
I wish it were that easy. Look, it took a 4.0 student to make that connection!
I dispair of the quality of education they're handing out.:(

That's just it. Education is not handed out like a gift. Both the teacher and the student must work to improve themselves and each other.

No one ever said that getting educated is easy.
