If You Don't Go To College, You Won't Be Successful In Life

That's the message conveyed by idiotic laws like this one:

D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown will introduce a bill Wednesday that would require all city high school students to apply to at least one college before graduating.

He's wasting the time of colleges as well as of students who have no need or desire to attend a college. Paternalism run amok--what a shock it's occurring in the nation's capital.
