Think Progress: While talking about education during a campaign stop in New Hampshire today, Santorum stated that Obama “said every child should go to college,” then declared, “What elitist snobbery out of this man!” The claim drew cheers from many in the crowd.
Because in GOP world it's elitist snobbery to want everybody to have the chance at a good education, but it's not elitist snobbery to restrict that opportunity to the children of the rich. Attacking, restricting, and denying public education is a major way in which Republican party public policy reduces upward mobility, making America very much less the land of opportunity. But it's no surprise. Fact of the matter is conservatives have been working on behalf the plantation owner since this country was founded.
