“I think we can all see where this going.”

Black studies, Women’s studies, and the new and improved LGBTP career track. All of these - Math, sciences = $$$$$

I think it is a great idea. I would love to see which schools are sells out, and which ones are actually planning on preparing my child for a future.

As a future investor in college, I am happy to know which government run school to avoid.

Rate the Marxist/sodomite hell-hole indoctrination centers that destroy Virtue-—they get an A++++++++. Hillsdale/Christian-type-get an F-.

He’s got to erase those Christian Ethics and inculcate his Satanic/Occult/Muslim Ethics of Sodomy/Hedonism/Dependence, so that he destroys everything which made us Free, Responsible and Independent and the best country in the history of mankind.

Virtue is essential for Free Republics-—and only Christian Ethics have formed the most Free countries in the History of the world because of the Christian Principle of Individual Rights come only from God and Natural Law.

Lets see, colleges that are queer friendly, anti-christian, favor baby killing, think the collective is best, hate whites or race traitors, etc. Gonna be some hard time coming for colleges that don’t knuckle under.

First Barry came for our doctors, then he sent the IRS After the Tea Party...and finally he turned on the educational-industrial complex.
