Excellent article. I fully agree with everything you wrote. Horowitz's proposed cure is worse than the disease, but the underlying, fundamental disease is government involvement in education per se, at all levels (not just the university level). It is a violation of my rights (including my First Amendment rights) for the government to seize my property through force (i.e. taxation) and use it to teach and promote ideas and philosophies with which I disagree.

I agree. I'd like to see absolutely no government involvement in education.
