Peter Thiel - now this is a 'cat that I can get behind

Peter Thiel of Facebook and PayPal fame is attacking the monstrous and destructive education Borg where it hurts:

Though he’s primarily a businessman, Thiel has dabbled in libertarian activism. Most recently, he caused a stir by establishing the Thiel Fellowship, which will select 20 college students under the age of 20 and pay them $100,000 each to drop out of college and embark on entrepreneurial careers. Thiel is also an intellectual of astonishing breadth and depth who finds time, while running a major hedge fund, to produce thought pieces that survey the Western Canon, the geopolitical landscape, and financial economics at a gallop (such as this one for theHoover Digest).

He also has very sober and important things to say about Net Neutrality that everyone should read.  You go, boy. Hat tip NRO
