Featuring the author, Charles Murray, W.H. Brady Scholar, American Enterprise Institute; with comments by Christopher B. Nelson, President, St. John�s College. Moderated by Neal McCluskey, Associate Director, Center for Educational Freedom, Cato Institute.
One message is delivered relentlessly in American education: Everyone should go to college. And then there�s Charles Murray�s message: Few people either need, or are able to handle, the rigorous liberal-arts training that college is supposed to provide. But this isn�t a death sentence for those who are not academically inclined. Opportunities to enter well-paying professions and lead good lives abound for these people, and the sooner that�s recognized, the sooner everyone can get the education they need. Christopher B. Nelson, whose �great books� college provides the sort of liberal arts education Murray believes is beyond most people�s reach, will respond.
