Bear beating the drum new California BPPVE

[Little Arminius]

John Bear has been keeping everyone posted on the status of the legislation to restore the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. Only Peter French, an Aussie, seems to have any interest in this issue that Bear believes in so strongly. Too bad, I really wonder what the likes of Gus Sainz, Bill Huffman, Contreras, Poimen, Jack Tracey, Steve Foerster, Levicoff, Tenured Prof, Gollin and the others think about this arcane DL issue?

If Uncle J were still around, you know that he would have offered his opinion (along with some of that self-serving Carpathian drivel he was famous for) and moved the thread along.

Just what California needs, more useless bureaucracy paid for with tax money they don't have.  This is nanny state socialism at its finest.  Ninety percent of these paper-shuffling busy-work projects could disappear and it would be decades before anybody even noticed.  

How long has the BPPVE been out of order?   Has California higher education fallen in the ocean as a result?  The only people clamoring for its resurrection are socialists and bureaucrats.

I see that Bear, Peter French, Bill Huffman, Steve Foerster among others are following the California developments with baited breath. All of them come off as big-government advocates who applaud Obama's government takeover of vast sectors of the U.S. economy.
