Senator Clinton, Visiting My Old High School on Friday, Wasn't Totally Right...

Monumental day on Friday, March 28, as Senator Hillary Clinton was in Mishawaka, Indiana -- the town yours truly grew up in -- to speak about a whole bunch of things.

College access came up and here's a link to what she had to say:

www.wndu.com (you'll have to visit the TV screen thing on the right-hand side).

Most of what she said about college centered around the generalities that are easy to spout during an election year:

College is too expensive (thus tuition should come down).

Student loan companies charge too much (thus interest rates should come down).

Grant dollars should be increased.

Ah yes, if it were only that simple.

How bout this novel idea: equipping students (and parents) with the right tools so they can be successful in high school, so that college choices are more plentiful, scholarship dollars are flowing, and loans aren't necessary. (Mishawaka students are pretty bright.)

She also failed to mention that No Child Left Behind is a joke and should be repealed by Executive Order on Day One.

But it was nice to see she made the trip to visit the home of the Cavemen.
