I don’t completely agree...there’s plenty of value in an old-school university or college education if one’s up to it. (Emphasis on OLD SCHOOL...studying and discussing the Classics, Western Civilization, math, history, things like that). But, it should NOT be the debt-funded, Marxist, crap-laden “gatekeeper” to everyday employment that it’s become since the Supreme Court’s Griggs v. Duke Power decision, circa 1971. It should be optional, aimed at those who would truly gain something from it, and above all, affordable without debt.

Eliminating Federal guarantees of student loans, as well as reversing Griggs, would probably shut down a LOT of colleges and universities within a few years, and dump a lot of postmodernist BS artists, tenured and otherwise, out on the streets. Maybe *then* we can rebuild American higher education.

shutting down the money pipeline is the only way to end this leftist bastion.

no more government funded loans and let’s defund the state schools at the state level.
