Hilarious. But fitting, given that Americans hate education, just in general.

The United States is home to more top ranked univesities than any other country on the planet with funding and endowments other nations could not imagine in their wildest dreams. Tertiary educational attainment is 43%, one of the highest on the planet and far in excess of almost all developed nations.

This proposed policy is idiotic. That does not mean Americans hate education or that sweeping national generalizations easily contradicted with minimal research are appropriate.
