Quotes We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher education). If not, we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people. That's what happened in Germany. I saw it happen. Moskowitz, Ron (October 30, 1970). "Professor Sees Peril in Education".
