"If there's one thing that we can do to save America today, it's to get rid of our institutions of higher education right now and cut the liberal breeding ground off!" He continued in the same tone. "Good grief! The stupid stuff that our kids are being taught is absolutely ridiculous," he said. "She's learned all of this stuff that flies in the face of what we stand for as a country, and here we are as legislators paying for this garbage to be taught to our children."

– Tennessee State Senator Kerry Roberts in comments on a radio call-in show.  He later retracted by saying that his supporters realized he was using “hyperbole”.  

COMMENT: Actually, I don’t think it reflects hyperbole…I don’t usually comment on the Quotes of the Week but this one is purely stupid, coming from any kind of leader – regardless of your political leanings.  Education is what has made America!! Without education there would be no doctors, no nurses, no teachers, no engineers, no whatever profession you like that contributes to the economy and development of the nation. And, in my experience – colleges and universities produce lots of Republicans and Democrats who are thoughtful.  In fact, my best friends are from both parties. Enough said…
