Please 'sticky' this. Not because it will be 'preventative', there's no inoculation against the spread of 'stupid'. But rather as a fun reminder of just HOW stupid!

Addressing the graduating students of Rutgers University, President Obama decried ignorance and wall-building in what many consider to be a thinly veiled critique of Donald Trump and his plan to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
“In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue,” Obama told the Rutgers community. “It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about. That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That’s just not knowing what you’re talking about.
Obama pointed out that people usually value experience: They seek out doctors when they're sick and pilots when they want to take a flight, "and yet, in our public lives we suddenly think, I don't want somebody who's done it before."
"The rejection of facts, the rejection of reason and science that is the path to decline," Obama said, warning that in an age of an influx of information, not everything should be taken as fact. "
