If we remove the government subsidies, education will flourish.
MORE people will be able to attend school since it would be much cheaper AND more people would get out of school with far less debt.
Think of the benefits to society if college grads were graduating with only 5 thousand in private loan debts as opposed to 20 or 30 thousand in government subsidized debt.
All that extra cash not wasted on education can now be used for more productive things.

It has often been observed that the true enemy of the GOP and the neocons is neither liberals or democrats, and that it is in fact an informed and educated populace. Fox news has always waved that flag with both the quality of its information and the almost legally retarded level of intelligence of their entertainers/presenters. If anyone has any doubts as to this theory, I challenge them to watch more than an hour of Fox and Friends. The "deuce" is leading the way.

Some universities actively "shout down" any opposing views.
I think you might be confusing "opposing views" for wrong views.
Aren't conservatives supposed to oppose social relativism? The idea that everyones views are equally right and everyone is entitled to their own truth...
Of course everyone is entitled to their own crazy ideas on their own time, but in a learning environment, there are actually right and wrong answers you know.
They can rightly be called communist brainwashing centers.
1. unmitigated support of Keynesian economics
2. "diversity" mandates in course curriculum
3. constant support of expansionist government policy
US history as it pertains to the foundation of the constitution and constitutional law, world history as it pertains to central bank planning, etc.. etc
All public and most private universities live on student loan money issued by the federal government. They also live on state funding.
The professors and the administration are very well aware of this fact and thus have a major incentive to always promote a socialist agenda as it pertains to their educational curriculum.
Is it fair that a man who never went to college should be forced, at the point of a gun, to hand over his hard earned money so someone else's kid can go to school on his dime?
Is it fair that college tuition is skyrocketing under the ridiculous student loan deals setup by the federal government which now forces students into massive debt in order to finance their education?

Did you even watch the video?
Fox News is just reporting on a study.
Fox News did not create the study.
Go back and watch the video.

What you describe may pertain to the College of Liberal Arts (which encompasses the Social Science categories among other things) but does not pertain to the School of Business (as a personal example.) The general sweeping allegations don't work, you need to break down which "Schools" within the Univ. you are talking about or your message is moot.

Agree with this. It would be a starting place, no doubt.

It seems that after 4 years of college , They have , we hoped , gotten smarter.
Grads are able to think for themselves , and see things from all angles.
Teach the students the courses, grade them on their work studies, and let them think for themselves.

Oh, i see.
If a liberal on a campus makes the determination that a position is
wrong well then free speech is null and void. Shout them down.
That is just wonderful!
