Moonbat University

A concept of higher education has been established that caters to the needs of moonbats so perfectly, it should free up conventional universities to be reclaimed by grownups. Oaksterdam University, in San Francisco's still more liberal sister city Oakland, is a trade school that specializes in the only skill true moonbats need, once they've mastered the task of filling out welfare forms:
The school prepares people for jobs in California's thriving medical marijuana industry. For $200 and the cost of two required textbooks, students learn how to cultivate and cook with cannabis, study which strains of pot are best for certain ailments, and are instructed in the legalities of a business that is against the law in the eyes of the federal government.
"My basic idea is to try to professionalize the industry and have it taken seriously as a real industry, just like beer and distilling hard alcohol," said Richard Lee, 45, an activist and pot-dispensary owner who founded the school in a downtown storefront last fall.
Given that the students tend actual marijuana plants, you might think the authorities would be interested. Guess again:
Michael Chapman, an assistant agent in charge with the Drug Enforcement Agency's San Francisco office, said authorities are aware of Oaksterdam U and don't see any reason to shut it down. Talking about marijuana is not illegal, and while a small amount of pot is kept on the premises, the DEA tries "to concentrate our case work on the most significant violators," he said.
Besides, the school helps keep people busy who might otherwise end up doing much more damage by teaching political science next door in Berkeley.
Earning a little extra credit.
