Have you not seen what is, currently, occurring on university campuses?

The protest kids are actually going over the line in their defense of Hamas.
Way over! Possibly committing terrorist acts!
They don’t teach anything anymore, just brainwashing on steroids.
If you support the university system, you’re part of the problem!

In a summary,
Our kids do not belong to the government, but the government thinks they do. Mega universities are the worst, like Harvard and North Carolina. The liberal ooze emanating from them has become a source of embarrassment for America!

I personally beleave that the Greatest school of learning is the University of Life and Reality. If people truly desire to learn something the best instructor in the the world is themselves. If the history of America has shown the world anything it is that the path to education is best done by those people who have made the decision to learn something. Some of the greatest leaders of this nations where people that made a self determination to educate themselves. The majority of the students that attend college do so for the purpose of obtaining a sheet of paper saying that they learned something. When these same people leave school and enter the reality of life they find out very fast that what they learned in school has almost nothing to do with the reality of life. Most of them spend the vast majority of their time simply trying to find a way to pay off their student loans.

I am afraid that satan will not shut down most schools because they have become his church

Universities can serve a legitimate purpose. How about only providing student loans to those studying the fields teaching, medicine, science & technology. Eliminate or greatly reduce grants for the 'arts' and 'humanities'. As for athletics, if you're any good you don't need to go to college, let the pro's pick up the tab for training you. Also, more trade schools are certainly needed.

Eliminate all government funded education and replace it with private enterprise.
