That's true, but that that's because they don't like Obama. Each voter has to make their own decision, but to me that isn't a problem.

just goes to show the value a degree really holds....IMHO the a person is worth more than a piece of paper. It's an old paradigm IMHO, but also not completely without its merits.
Rove didn't go to college?

but with the state of college and loans right now, this is a trend i can get behind

But you left wingers said college records don't matter, now you are obsessed with Scott Walker's college records. The Washington Post just did a 2,000 word expose on Walker's time in college. I am still waiting on someone in the media to do a similar story on Obama's time in college.

Police departments are under pressure in a lot of cities to become more racially diverse and better reflect the communities they serve. To do that they are being forced to lower their requirements for the job. The fact of the matter is that black people have lower rates of college degrees so it is harder to recruit them if you require a college degree.
What is more important to you: a diverse police department or a highly educated police department?

I forget where this was, but some dude got denied a job at a police force because he was "too smart." He sued and then subsequently lost.

Lower their requirements from what to what? An associates to a ged? If you're an accountant would you want someone doing your job for you to not have a college degree?
Should we be prideful in knowing that our public representatives/servants haven't attended college?
Rove brilliant, Jobs, Gates, both brilliant but lets not act like this is some normal occurrence.

I am not against requiring college degrees. I am just telling you why police departments are dropping the requirement: because they are under pressure to become more racially diverse and black people are less likely than white people to have a degree.
