America’s universities are becoming a fundamentally toxic presence in our national culture. Possessing every possible advantage — a young, disproportionately wealthy base of students who come from disproportionately intact and functional homes, generations of goodwill accumulated through centuries of community influence, and vast economic power through endowments worth cumulatively hundreds of billions of dollars (the top ten endowments alone are worth more than $150 billion) — they have squandered these assets in efforts to create a leftist utopia, a “utopia†that could well tear this nation apart. Make no mistake, while universities preach social justice, equality, and racial harmony, they practice lawlessness, exploitation, and racial strife, creating an environment that is simultaneously sexually decadent and intellectually repressive, causing real harm to countless thousands of Americans. Many students are capable of keeping their heads down, building friendships, and graduating with a good experience and a good education, but they thrive despite the university culture, not because of it. The true (and intentional) product of contemporary — especially “elite†— university culture is the social-justice warrior, the SJW, the hyper-sensitive petty tyrant who would rather wreck our republic than abide even the mildest dissent. Is there a more lawless entity than the American higher-education establishment?

Better to let them self destruct then start over from scratch
^ This + 1. I’d rather let them melt down and stew a little more first.
What lots of conservatives want universities to become is glorified trade schools with Christian morals.
Conservative activism will certainly improve things, but we are a long way away from the vision of men like John Newman.
We need a conservative version of the ACLU. Make it so the Left is afraid they will be sued. After 40 years of being on defense, it’s time to take the offensive against the vile Socialist scum!
We need an all out cultural war against the destructive ideas of the Left that has weakened us over the last 40 or 50 years.
Remember the pendulum swings both ways!
Yes! Boycott all school sports at Socialist colleges. They will notice that
You just stated the #1 conservative problem! I mean, do conservatives even know how to go on offense?
The state legislatures need to hold hearings on revoking the tax exempt status of universities.
More than 3 dozen universities hold endowments of more than 1 billion dollars.
There is a ton of money being made at these highly partisan propaganda centers.
Stripping them of the tax exempt status will get their attention. They will definitely look to avoid that fiscal knife.
Spell out the rules— ideological diversification— in order to keep tax exempt status.
bump for later
some day, maybe in my lifetime,, a college education may actually MEAN something again, other than Spring Break youtube BS.>>>>
i think it does today just not at state run stuff.
Excellent posting.
State funded schools CAN be severely cut back on financing to the point where they once again begin offering courses that prepare students to enter the adult work environment.
Crap courses like Black Studies or Women Studies are meaningless in the business world, but easy passes for specific groups who then complain about not getting jobs.
The Federal gov’t. should not be giving tax payers’ dollars to private Universities like Yale, Harvard, Notre Dame, etc., which have HUGE endowments.
Our next President should disband the DoEducation and get this country back to teaching useful subject matter.
my daughter went to Lehigh and on 9/11 she started selling red white and blue ribbons to raise money for victims families. Of course I bought one and wore it til we got bin laden ,,,
She was told to STOP SELLING THEM BECAUSE IT MIGHT OFFEND SOME FOREIGN STUDENTS.... gee i wonder who that might have been....
So I stopped sending ONE PENNY TO LEHIGH .....
These universities are infested with commie libtard vermin who act like NAZIS given the chance..
Parents must be vigilant and let their wallets do the talking...
Cut off funds to these commie septic tanks...
