Well, maybe in courses on "The History of DC Comics".

We have reached a critical juncture in our nation’s history. As once hallowed institutions decay before our eyes, parallel structures struggle to arise. Cryptocurrencies, Fintechs, and private equity funds hedge against financial system collapse. Private security continues to grow in the face of police defunding crusades. And in K-12 education, charter, parochial, and private schools strive to excel where government schools have failed.
Innovations in higher education have also occurred but clearly have been insufficient to stop the downward spiral of increased cost and decreased value that many have warned about for decades.
It is time to get serious about building a parallel university system. It is both sorely needed and easier to achieve than one might think.
In recent years, colleges have been forcing out good professors, like Dave Porter at Berea College, unwilling to bend the knee to an increasingly aggressive Woke Ideology. Other professors are quietly retiring early, killing themselves, or vociferously quitting in disgust. Untold numbers of aspiring scholars eschew graduate school in the humanities and social sciences for safer (and likely more remunerative) careers in business, law, or the sciences.
Americans have long told themselves that the quality of their universities were key components of democratic safety and economic prosperity. Such claims were cited to justify the billions of dollars of public subsidies that taxpayers pour into America’s universities each year, including the over $100,000 per baccalaureate degree conferred to elite public institutions. What have taxpayers received in return? Not enough!
Consider the billions poured into “research.” While some studies provide data, findings, or insights of value, the vast majority do not because most are written to obtain career objectives—grants, promotions, tenure, sabbaticals—not to improve the world, or even scholarly understanding of it.

Accreditation. The requirements will be changed to require “diversity” and suchlike.
We will not be able to build a parallel system unless we take NO government handouts (including federally guaranteed student loans) in the U.S.A. Hillsdale and Christendom College (AB ‘87) are two such institutions. We also have to have at least one accrediting body, preferably two, that does not dictate crazy terms.
That is true...plus we need to have universities and colleges produce students who are ready to work in the private sector. There is WAY too much emphasis on colleges to make more professors. Their curriculum and research shows this to be true.
We’ll have to come up with our own accrediting body, too. Hiring managers will come around soon enough.
Operate in the parallel currency system as well then “we don’t need no stinkin’ handouts” in the inflation-devalued US govt money.
Stand up a parallel accreditation system as the legacy accreditation system devalues itself with wokeness.
Will they teach about the parallel universes in these parallel universities?
Today, we need a parallel everything system.
conservatives will take some of that.
parallel schools (already there with homeschool).
parallel voting system. needed badly.
parallel economy. patriots, gab and torba working on that.
but if we followed that route, we may end up with a shortage of womyn’s studies professors...that sure would be terrible </sarc>
I think we need to go to storefront universities.
A professor would rent a time slot at a space and enroll students.
Professor Carbon
Chemistry 101
every Tuesday 9am-10am, September-May, except December 21&28th and January 4&11th
Classroom A, South Street Shopping Center
Tuition $1,200
Class Size Cap 30
Class minimum 15
Professor Carbon might pay $1000 rent for his space and time from 8:45am to 10:40am, 15 minutes for arrivals and up to 40 minutes for student consultation.
How about a parallel universe?
“In early August, for example, The New York Times singled Torba out for spreading a baseless rumor that members of the military would be court-martialed for refusing to accept the Covid vaccine.”

“’For most of 2019,’ the company said in an SEC filing, ‘we were unable to obtain payment processing services … [which] resulted in a substantial decline in our revenue.’ Therein was a lesson: Gab would have to build its own payment tools, a parallel system from which Gab, its owners, and its users could not be blocked.”
“’We’re building an alternative internet.’”
“’They want to gaslight us into violence. Don’t fall for it,’ wrote Torba on a pinned Gab post. ‘We are going to sit back and watch as the woke American Regime consumes itself. While this happens we are going to peacefully build.’”
Build Back Better
We will Joe.
“How about a parallel universe?”
New England
It took some time.
Perhaps parallel taxing/spending/voting/administrative systems.
IRS Blue, IRS Red
Blue Congress, Red Congress
Blue voting, Red voting
Blue counties, Red counties
