We actually should do far far more than just defund them. The universities are where the disease of marxism is coming from, and left un-checked it will destroy America. They're using our rights to freedom to annihilate our freedom. This must be stopped and our govt politician class is not up to the job.

Simple, (but hard to do,) defund all social programs. From those in Education to Welfare. Eliminate the department of education. Eliminate the requirement of a teaching credential.

Good idea!

The only way that has any chance of happening is if we take to the streets in large enough numbers, put pressure on the politicos, like the left pushes its agenda.

Sadly, we’re just not as good about putting the fear of God in our politicos.

I think if the government simply said that the max yearly loan amount will not exceed $10k a year, and actually set the pay-back schedule in front of the kid on day one of graduation...you’d change the whole game real quick.

I’d even make it interesting and let the engineer and science kids get the $15k a year loan because I’d be confident in their ability to get a decent job and pay the money back in ten to fifteen years.

That’s not enough. We must defund public schools, as well. Uneducated children are far less damaging to the Republic than MALeducated ones.

Stop the Dept of ED loans and third-party loans that pay Big Education for tuition, etc. If Big Ed wants to allow loans to students, the loan must be made and guaranteed by the college/university being attended. This will do two things:
a) Big Ed now has a vested interest in their product,
b) attendance will drop forcing Big Ed to only support degree plans that produce graduates that can pay back the loan.

Say goodbye to worthless ‘studies’ and ‘diversity’ degree plans and the communists that teach them.

I’ve been wanting absolutely no fed $ including student loans and Pell grants to all univerities and state colleges for a long, long time.

Separation of school and state.

And get rid of the DoE while we’re at it. I recently learned that it started with Jimmeh Carter. It needs to get the boot.
