4574...Margaret Wente Has The Common Touch

In the same way that Marie Antoinette did.

Here is what the Globe and Mail scribbler thinks about the Quebec students who are protesting.

The truth is, the education they’re getting is overpriced at any cost. The protesters do not include accounting, science and engineering students, who have better things to do than hurl projectiles at police. They’re the sociology, anthropology, philosophy, arts, and victim-studies students, whose degrees are increasingly worthless in a world that increasingly demands hard skills. The world will not be kind to them. They’re the baristas of tomorrow and they don’t even know it, because the adults in their lives have sheltered them and encouraged their mass flight from reality.
It  is nice to see she still gets it.

  1. those students generally don't involve themselves in political activities or social justice movements
    does Wente have a degree in something?
