Why can't we know what courses he took, what grades he made, and who paid for his education?
His records aren't "sealed". They simply have not been publicly released. But to say that they are "sealed", as if Obama went through some legal process to insure that that information never sees the light of day, that's false. My college records aren't open to the public, though I haven't "sealed" them. No one I know's college records are public information, though they haven't "sealed" them. This idea that Obama's records are "sealed" is essentially red meat being thrown out for low information voters. Why vote on things like policy when you can instead vote on empty rhetoric like "His rekors r sealeD!!!" and "Benghasi!!!?
And I don't see how that makes Scalia's comments any less racist.

"sealed" "not publicly released" ... same difference. Semantics.
He could release 'em with the stroke of a pen.
He's the freakin' President of the United States. He
works for us. We are his employer. We have a right to know .... and I, or one, would like to.
I think all elected officials education records should be fully released.
Whatcha wanna bet they'll never see the light of day? Ever.
Yes. I suppose he could.
Let's say that he did exactly that. How would that information influence us today in any way? How would it really be material in any sense? He's a lame duck president at this point. I think that vetting isn't necessarily the best strategy seeing as how we're in election season in a lame duck presidency.
YOU'RE afraid that it will solidly confirm that semi-retired President Obama is indeed, positively unqualified to be President of the United states much less anything else.
George W. Bush wasn’t the best college student around. But at least he’s been up front about his college record, unlike Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin. John McCain, on the other hand, has been quite upfront about the fact that he was ranked 894 out of 899 in the Naval Academy.COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS OF GEORGE W. BUSH SHOW C AVERAGEIn fact, George W. Bush has openly released his Yale University undergraduate transcript. As you can see, Bush truly was a solid C student. He never got an A in anything the entire time that he was in college (although he never got a D or an F either). Bush almost got As in history and anthropology, and earned a high pass in Japanese, of all things. However, he received a 71 and a 73 respectively in his two political science and government classes. His lowest grade was in sociology — a 70.
Bush earned a 1206 on the SATs, which is pretty good. These days, though, a 1200 won’t get you anywhere near Yale, so I wonder how true that was back then, and how much Bush’s father’s connections had to do with getting him in.

The mention of the SAT score is that since George Bush, and for that matter, since I took the SAT exams the score has been "re-centered". Too many students were getting lower and lower scores on the exam so, rather than blame the method of education, they give extra points to the math and English scores thus increasing them...artificially.
Here ya go, Markle.Compare this from the Harvard Crimson.
The presidential hopeful graduated magna cum laude from the Law School in 1991; his wife earned the degree three years earlier.
But the senator was still outstanding in his own right—“brilliant, charismatic, and focused,” said Wilkins, the Kirkland and Ellis professor of law. The two forged a relationship after Obama became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review.
Obama announced the creation of an exploratory committee Tuesday, effectively launching his bid for the presidency, but he revealed his decision to his closest supporters in a conference call days earlier.
“He talked about how the timing was not exactly what he himself expected, but with a tremendous response from the nation, that this is an important moment and a great opportunity to step forward,” Wilkins said.
Loeb University Professor Laurence H. Tribe ’62, who taught Obama and employed him as a research assistant, remembers him as a “brilliant, personable, and obviously unique” person. Tribe said that Obama’s theoretical perspective on applying modern physics to law was “very impressive.”
“He is obviously a serious intellectual as well as a fantastic campaigner who can reach across boundaries,” Tribe said. “He will make an extraordinarily fine president.”
