I don't consider myself a republican but i'm a right leaning libertarian. I don't think higher education is bad. I think its been corrupted with far left propaganda that is borderline socialism. When you have required gender studies classes for people majoring in business (me) you know something has gone terribly wrong. Also Biology classes have been infected with gender theory that has no basis in Biology. (first hand experience in a lab class 2 terms ago) All in All the left has taken over the institutions and has pushed too far with silly gender studies "science". And the whole idea that everything should be based on equality instead of merit is ridiculous in my eyes. I would be happy to answer more questions.
