All government-funded colleges should be SHUT DOWN. And government research dollars should be steered away from whatever universities that are left. To the extent the government must fund research at all, let that money go to corporations.

All forms of taxpayer-funded, college-level student financial aid should end now. Give that money to veterans to help them LEARN A TRADE. Or, better yet, return it to the taxpayers.

We need to gradually turn higher education over entirely to our very fine for-profit institutions. Let the decayed, decadent morally rotten, propaganda-filled public and nonprofit universities go to the dustbin of history.

The best education comes from career-oriented schools like DeVry, University or Phoenix. Small, for-profit trade schools are good choices as well. Teaching soft subjects like philosophy, English literature or art is a waste of time.

I don’t trust nonprofits or anything run by the government. But a profit motive is something I can respect.

Amen. I am dreaming, but disolving the Fed Department of Education and turning over ALL schools back to the locals and States would be a good first step. Federal control is a huge part of the problem with schools today, at all levels.

I am talking to you, Common Core. Is that still in our schools or did the locals finally get rid of that abomination?
