   In fact, Will, I'll gladly agree that courses on parenting (or
   the demonstration of equivalent knowledge by examination) should
   be required of parents; however, any such requirement must be 
   universally applicable to the entire population of parents, 
   probably as a precondition for ever gaining parental custody.  

   Attaching such a requirement to the population of college graduates 
   instead, or some other such unrelated population, is not appropriate.
