Shouldn’t this be a golden opportunity for someone to take advantage of in the free market? Why can’t conservatives create much cheaper colleges that will provide educations without the slant? Are there true costs keeping the price high or are there barriers to entry for new institutions?

I'm not sure how biased the various accreditation boards are vis a vis politics.

But you will always have the MSM running stories about which are the "correct" schools to attend......

That’s happening as we speak. For example, MIT has thrown all of their courses and course guidelines on the net, so that anybody motivated could go through everything MIT teaches on a course, using all the internet sources and textbook materials and acquire a free MIT education, on the book level anyway.

It’s expected, as I understand the transformation, that the education will be free, but the qualifying will still cost something.
