A Republican House Can Impose Order On Colleges

 This is called the “power of the purse.” Republicans do not need to negotiate with themselves. Democrats simply have to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. They created a monster, and now the bill has come due.

Ted Noel - American Thinker   “ 'College.” It sounds so good. “Everyone needs to go to college.” Sounds good again. But we know that’s a crock. We all need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, welders, and a host of other tradespeople just to keep life going. None of them need college. With apologies to grammarians and Norman Whitfield, we must ask, “College, what is it good for?”

"At the moment, while it may be worth a bit more than “absolutely nothing,” the list of its “benefits” includes a lot of “graduates” who can’t repay their Federally Insured Student Loans, others who can’t find productive employment, and many who think that their primary duty is to protest. The object of the protest does not require any evil character. It simply demands the possibility of demands. Irrational, emotional protestors only have to have a target.

"Obviously, the recent antisemitic protests on various college campuses raise huge questions. Who is paying for them to be in college? Who is paying for them to be there without regard for the primary purpose of education? And why are colleges tolerating them? Or supporting them? We know that certain of the Poison Ivy League are inflating grades, which helps make their “students” appear to be eligible for the next loan. Hmmmmm…"
