Don't Hate the Player

Hate the game.  Via Thoma, Krugman 'splains Santorum and Romney hating on the education game.  It's completely incomprehensible why anybody would root for bringing down education.  For someone who is Chinese, whose ancestors made the mistake of being all proud and full of themselves and shutting down the growth of knowledge, this is sad.  It's one thing to argue something like the effects of economic policy.  But taking a dump on education?  WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??  If Santorum thinks schools indoctrinate kids, then he should get people to step up and make schools "better", rather than tell people to be too cool for school.  Disgusting.  Maybe... unforgivable?
