Military snubbing cyber-school students

Military snubbing cyber-school students http://is.gd/vB7g32.
I have been for years now painfully aware of the snubbing of online graduates in the work world, but this raises quite a few more issues. It seems that although education is trying to reach all and everyone by incorporating and making use of technology, society is still far from getting over its prejudice over online studies and degrees. The question to society is, how do people expect to reach out to all and every individual and provide them with a possibility to educate themselves and improve their quality of life, if every road taken to make it possible is blocked based on biases and misconceptions. We need to get our acts together and really cut the double rhetoric and standards. Online learning is here to stay and we better learn to make the best use of it so that most of the population, wherever they are, whenever they can can achieve an education.
