Well Colleges and Universities teach science, which just leads to understanding things like biological evolution an AGW, and those are of the Devil, so what to you expect?

Conservatives would much rather have Evangelical Madrasa instead...

>> A majority of republicans now think that colleges and universities are bad for America.

While not a Republican, it is clear to me that colleges and universities -- as a thing -- are in a death spiral. Far better education is available online today at a fraction of the cost, and online education is in its infancy.

Over the coming 15 years it is estimated 1/2 of American colleges will end up in bankruptcy. But courses from best universities will proliferate and specialization will proliferate with it. The best courses will work.

The equivalent of a university education could come down to a few thousand dollars IF we get rid of student loans (which the cause of expensive university education today).
