I think the solution lies in abandoning liberal universities. Their tuitions are already over-priced and if they were left altogether they would have to sky-rocket or close down. We have to ask ourselves if Harvard shutting down could be considered a loss. I don't think so.

No one can convince me that a degree from these schools hold the same prestige that they used to. We conservatives will just have to take it upon ourselves to build new colleges and universities to pick up the task of furthering education in our country. What about all those conservative professors who can't get hired at leftist schools? They should band together and start their own with high standards that would quickly make it clear to employers that they would rather hire those students at graduation time.

Well the thing is with rising tuition costs (especially in California) more and more people are going to junior colleges first or to state schools to save money and both of these places are also filled with extreme liberal views. It is either go to one of these schools or get no eduation. Many of us do not have a choice. Also in many colleges administrations do not hire very many conservatives. Granted in an interview they cannot ask aboult political affiliation directly, they always find a way. Just purely by asking you what your life is like or by looking at your application witch often somewhere will give a hint to your political affiliation. In almost every school, even within completely conservative areas, the vast majority of the teachers are leftists. Also (even in elementary education) teachers are allowed to use their leftists views in the classroom without fear of any conflict. However a teacher cannot put any conservative views into a classroom. For example my sister is a 4th grade teacher and at her particular school she is not allowed at any holidays to do anything involving religion. Now santa was a saint and at thanksgiving we prayed, easter and halloween and christmas are all completely religious holidays. Also she cannot have anything up or say anything in class about supporting our soldiers. She thought it would be fun for the kids to draw a picture or write a letter and send them to troops and her school told her no. Though I have heard of some schools allowing that. So how can all of that be bad, but then it is okay to tell your students to go to a protest against our own country? It is all so crazy.
