"Facts, evidence, reason, logic and understanding of
science — those are good things. These are qualities you
want in people making policy.
"We traditionally have
valued those things, but if you were to listen to today's political
debate, you might wonder where this strain of anti-intellectualism came
from. So, class of 2016, let me be clear as I can be: In
politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not
know what you're talking about."
—President Obama, Rutgers University, May 15, 2016
