Michelle Obama urges grads to seek conflict 'to shape the revolutions of our time'

IBD reports on advice our Glorious First Lady gave Oberlin college graduates:
"The truth is, graduates," she said, "after four years of thoughtful, respectful discussion and debate here at Oberlin -— those seminars where you explored new ideas together, those late-night conversations where you challenged each other and learned from each other -- after all of that, you might find yourself a little dismayed by the clamor outside these walls -- the name-calling, the negative ads, the folks yelling at each other on TV.

"After being surrounded by people who are so dedicated to serving others and making the world a better place, you might feel a little discouraged by the polarization and gridlock that too often characterize our politics and civic life."


Funny, Oberlin's high tuition has served the overpaid bureaucrats there quite well.
