<p>That Russian wasn’t uneducated because he didn’t know about Middlebury. I agree that a vast number of educated people have never heard of Middlebury. </p>
<p>He was uneducated because he made generalized, uneducated statements about American liberal arts colleges that are patently false. I’m uneducated when it comes to discussing the Russian system of higher education, but I don’t go around posting on blogs that Moscow University is akin to an elementary school. Middlebury isn’t a two-year community college, and it doesn’t have an open enrollment system whereby anyone who wants to attend can do so. A small bit of research would have made this person’s blog post a bit more educated.</p>
