HARRISBURG, Pa.—A national social workers' advocacy group says 84 percent of Pennsylvania's child-welfare caseworkers have a bachelor's degree in human services, but it says seven counties rate well below the average.

The Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Social Workers released the report Monday.

It says it gathered the information on every child-welfare caseworker in Pennsylvania, a process that took 11 months and required requests under the state Right to Know Law.

It found eight counties with 100 percent of caseworkers who have a bachelor's degree in human services: Butler, Carbon, Forest, Huntingdon, Lackawanna, Lebanon, Montour and Sullivan.

But it says seven counties are below 70 percent: Blair, Cameron, Elk, Greene, Mifflin, Somerset and Wayne.

It says Pennsylvania's requirement for caseworkers is 12 college credits in social sciences.

Seriously, how many people know how useless a bachelor degree is?  Two years.  Social sciences.  The kids in college taking social science and psych courses are the stupidest kids on campus.  Absolutely vapid.  Absolutely communists.  Nasty, low IQ people with loser personalities.  The worst of the worst.
