Today’s Must-Read Article: Amid all the attempts to divide Americans and turn us against each other, kudos to journalist Salina Zito for taking one small step for understanding. She has a program in which she takes ten Harvard students on a safari into Flyover Country. All that most of them know about the people there is what they’ve been told by their professors: that they are uneducated or undereducated bigots who are a lower level of life than Harvard-style liberals.

Read the article and witness the culture shock the students experienced at finding that people in small towns and rural areas actually know things they don’t. They are intelligent, experienced, compassionate, highly competent at their jobs, devoted to their communities and businesses – why, they’re like actual people! They're even admirable. And the biggest shock of all to the Harvard students: guess who most of them voted for?

Of course, Harvard could provide this same education to all its students simply by adopting my book, “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy,” as a required reading textbook. But I won’t hold my breath.
