Education's Heists

Good Morning. A couple of new items today...

• What's the purpose of education--to manufacture workers or mold individuals? The "free" market drives the answer. See Pierre's Tuesday Column, "Cogs and Ends: Education's Heist?"
  

• Anthony Swofford scored big with Jarhead, his memoir of the first Gulf War. His first novel, Exit A, draws less than pink mist. See "Jarhead Shoots Blanks."
  

• From the archives: 15 years old and shot down for wielding a fake gun. Remember "Chris Penley's Fatal Bullies."

Plenty more in the Daily Journal. Thanks for reading.pt
