Former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the two GOP presidential frontrunners, have both promised a crackdown on colleges should they occupy the White House — a stark reflection of the right’s growing skepticism of higher education.
Some Republican complaints about colleges are related to broader concern about “wokeness” and free speech. But others hint at deeper questions about the value of college, and how to ensure a degree comes with an appropriate economic return.
Colleges war on Republicans*
It’s pretty simple - the left gives a ton of money to colleges, why wouldn’t they try to push left talking points and get more money? If republicans would give more money to colleges, we all know that the colleges would push more right wing talking points.
Are you saying like the DNC actually gives money to colleges? Or maybe people you just don’t like make private donations, which has nothing to do with what’s taught

Idk about colleges, but the DNC and teachers unions definitely.

Some. But what I’m saying is democrats tend to fund colleges at a much higher rate. Why wouldn’t the colleges buddy up for privileges?
This is what we call “Conflict of Interest”
Exactly what talking points are you referring to being pushed in higher ed across the country?
All you did was list off right wing buzzwords lmao. Have you ever stepped foot in a university? Do you think random electives are being forced on every student or something? I have 2 degrees and didn’t experience any of the above.
edit: also “anti-racism” sounds like some white supremacist dog whistle
