Part of President Obama’s Speech at Rutgers
Commencement 2016

Facts, evidence, reason, logic, an understanding of
science — these are good things. These are qualities
you want in people making policy. These are qualities
you want to continue to cultivate in yourselves as
citizens. That might seem obvious. That’s why we
honor Bill Moyers or Dr. Burnell. We traditionally
have valued those things. But if you were listening to
today’s political debate, you might wonder where this
strain of anti-intellectualism came from.

So, Class of 2016, let me be as 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. That’s
not keeping it real, or telling it like it is. That’s not
challenging political correctness. That’s just not
knowing what you’re talking about.

Qualities like kindness and compassion, honesty, hard work — they often matter more than technical
skills or know-how. But when our leaders express a
disdain for facts, when they’re not held accountable
for repeating falsehoods and just making stuff up, while actual experts are dismissed as elitists, then
we’ve got a problem.

You know, it’s interesting that if we get sick, we
actually want to make sure the doctors have gone to
medical school, they know what they’re talking about. If we get on a plane, we say we really want a pilot to
be able to pilot the plane. The rejection of facts, the
rejection of reason and science — that is the path to
decline.
