Santorum Accuses Obama Of ‘Elitist Snobbery’ For Wanting Every Child To Go To College
From ThinkProgress:
President Obama has laid out an ambitious agenda for America’s high school students, stating that by 2020, he wants the United States to be the world’s leader in proportion of college students. At other times, he has said he wants every student to graduate ‘college and career ready.’
To many, that would seem an effort to improve America’s lagging educational stature among the world’s largest countries. To former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R), however, that is a sign of Obama’s ‘elitist snobbery.’
While talking about education during a campaign stop in New Hampshire today, Santorum stated that Obama ‘said every child should go to college,’ then declared, ‘What elitist snobbery out of this man!’ The claim drew cheers from many in the crowd.
