Political Larnin' - I grew

Political Larnin' - I grew up in a family that valued education - where, near as I could tell, we were all equal, whatever our ideology, as long as what we packed into our skulls was good.

I've come to know, since then, that life is more complex than that. A great many liberals are incredibly smug about the purported difference in education, intelligence and empathy between conservatives and liberals.

Much to write on this subject - and many anecdotal sources to cite (and coming days I will). But til then, an introduction to the complex relationship between politics and education.
