What red states must do with Academia

[WVPATX]

The GOP controls around 25 states completely, Governor and state legislatures. They have great control in around. They have around 32 states with legislative control. They have 34 governorships. Lots of power in these states.

They need to rein in all these liberal state institutions. I would institute the following:

1. Establish diversity goals for conservative faculty. If the libs can impose quasi quotas for diversity, the GOP can as well. Financial penalties if goals not met.
2. If any state institution cancels or does not permit legitimate conservative speakers on campus, financial penalties.
3. Eliminate tenure.
4. Set up a mechanism to track any intimidation of students by liberal (or conservative) faculty. Punishments could go from suspensions to firings.
5. Save money by limiting spending in administrative positions. Admin should take up no more than 15% of the total budget.
6. Get rid of all safe spaces, trigger warnings, micro-aggressions, and the like.
7. Get rid of programs with no academic value (African American studies, Gender studies, etc.).
8. Set up a review board for faculty not hired to ensure ideology was not in any way involved in the hiring decision.
9. Provide a mechanism for students to voice complaints about politics being injected into subjects where they have no place. Punish professor that don't adhere to these guidelines.

We are losing this country to academic fraud. They are not educating our children, they are indoctrinating and not preparing them for life after college. They are damaging this country's future by raising snowflakes, not future leaders. It is past time to take action.

You just jumping on the conservative bandwagon that college turns your kiddies into liberals? lol, who worries that exposure to different ideas will change their kids? People who didn't raise them right.

That's just it, they are NOT exposing kids to different ideas. They are indoctrinating them into only one set of ideas, all liberal. States fund these schools. They are not preparing these kids for life. They are not preparing these kids for work. Have you seen a safe space in the business world? How about trigger warnings?

The indoctrination must stop. States must take back control over these institutions.

lol smh so you're scared of Muslims, liberals, immigrants...I'm sure I'm missing a few, help me out.

I'm not afraid of anyone. I do want my tax dollars to provide benefits. Right now, tax dollars funding these schools are not providing benefits. Or at least enough benefits to justify their cost. It is the only way to break the liberal/socialist monopoly on campuses.

You're such a drama queen and a conspiracy theorist. How has our nation survived all of this collegiate brain washing? Fortunately all of your mindless suggestions will stay right here on the message board where they belong. If only there were more Liberty Universities.

You think doing that will "change" things (as you see it being bad now)? You are joking. Schools and teachers are NOT the problems, and are NOT the influences you think. The social media and Internet is the problem. If schools never mentioned government, politics, etc., things would still be the way they are because of the mass forms of communications and ideas out there. What's next? You want to regulate the Internet? Funny how those who do not believe in regulation of the economy believe in regulation of education or social programs. Oh, but it's "tax dollars" at work. Yeah, well so are roads, with federally guided speed limits, driving under the influence, etc, in which drivers choose to ignore all the time. But, hey, if we just make auto manufacturers to make cars that only go 65 mph, or ban alcohol, that would change things! [thumbsup]

How about this.....how about parents getting involved with their child's daily life? How about them seeing what is being covered? How about allowing the kids to form an opinion on their own, and then discussing it with them?

I don't think you read very much or at least are not very informed. The environments on campuses are getting worse, much, much worse. Sorry that you're blinded by your ideology not to see it. Big changes must be made to prepare these kids for jobs and for life.

I am talking about colleges and universities. Parents may be doing a poor job but kids are no longer under a parents direct control while away at college. It is not social media that created safe spaces. It is not social media that created trigger warnings. It is not the social media that created micro-aggressions. It is not social media that allows students, faculty and administrators to deny conservative voices the chance to be heard on campus. Colleges love to talk about diversity except for one kind of diversity, ideology. How can kids learn and be exposed to ideological options if the faculty are all or the vast majority on the left? They can't. Colleges cost too much. They are far too inefficient. They don't teach anymore, they indoctrinate.

My suggestions are an attempt to bring these schools back into balance and lower costs.

So, 18-23 year olds do not have the mental capabilities to decide things on their own? WOW! But we trust them with guns, alcohol, tobacco, automobile, etc. etc. etc......

Sure they can decide on their own but they must be exposed to both sides of issues, debates, policies, etc. Not only one side. When schools have 90% or more of one ideology, that is not providing both sides of issues.
