I think it is because “higher” education is run by Leftists and communists.

It works so poorly because it’s designed to.

Higher education now turns young adults against their parents, against God, against sound morals and against their country.

Who wants that?

So does K-12

First of all, some colleges DO fail! Look at all the closures of institutions of higher education!

Second of all, NIH and NSF grants are a public good. The US MUST maintain its position as number one in scientific research! And we need to conquer diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, ALS, Parkinson’s, diabetes, etc. New research-based drugs also help fuel the US economy! We need those PhD students and postdocs to help make that happen!

If we fail to conquer Alzheimer’s, we shall have a real crisis on our hands, with our aging population!

True, but at least when your child is living under your roof, you have a chance to counter the propaganda.

I’ve had nieces who went K-12 through a private parochial classical school and ended well. After their first year in college, it undid almost EVERYTHING that was instilled in them.

Colleges really are brainwashing clinics.

That was the mistake.

If they had to go to an "University", at least go to a SEC school. The school culture is more conservative even though the faculty is woke.

Because GOD was taken out of the Schools, and America’s GODly heritage is not taught.
