The idea is that a University should try to give its students the ability to think openly. Sure. My small liberal arts college made that attempt. I'd like to think that in my case it largely succeeded. Plus, I can have an ok conversation with hired help. Yay me, or something.

Still, the author of this article rants on at length about not being able to talk to the plumber. He could care about the plumber. He could find worth in the plumber. But he would still have no ****ing idea what to say to the guy (or gal), unless he had some experience with interacting with (non-elite, I guess) people.

According to the article, your typical Elite University Student would think themselves too good to speak to the "help" To the extent that this is a fair assessment of Ivy League/Elite schools... ok, I can't disagree. That be bad.
