With few exceptions the education system in the United States is in utter disarray.

The reputation of the elite institutions of higher learning has deservedly never been lower.

Many campuses across the country have become breeding grounds for extreme protests, which at some schools involved blocking Jewish students from accessing public spaces.

Encampments grew around campuses as activists weaponized a misplaced “colonialism” ideology.

Ironically, while colleges allowed that absurdity to flourish, we’ve witnessed free speech on campuses continue to erode. Speeches are routinely cancelled as students threaten even moderately conservative invited speakers. For example views that oppose progressive consensus on discussions around transgender issues are simply not tolerated or accepted.
