You think that is easier than getting state legislatures to clean out state colleges & universities by defunding positions and departments?

Private schools with the exception of the big Ivys and a few others can stew in their own juices.

That’s a given. But then what? Same structure that will be susceptible to the same type of corruption. Why not shake up the structure after that? We need some new ideas that shake out the bureaucratic rug. These institutions’ corruption started in earnest in the last century by the humanist philosopher John Dewey. His papers on education being structured as a “place to learn how to live” inevitably was followed up with, “education is a regulation of the process of coming to share in the social consciousness; and that the adjustment of individual activity on the basis of this social consciousness is the only sure method of social reconstruction”. This occurs in stages, from early ed to college. And it has now led to the utter ideological corruption of the whole structure. We’ve made inroads in the early stages with proper home schooling. But the structure needs to be burned down.
