Timely read now that our daughters are getting ready to leave home and begin adult life. Paul and I have had long and serious conversations with our daughters about what tens of thousands of dollars in student loans will mean for them as future stay at home mothers. I don’t have all the answers, but this editorial should be read by all parents considering sending children to university, especially if they are going to have years of socialism shoved down their throats.

“Parents and taxpayers cough up billions upon billions of dollars to the nation’s colleges and universities. Colleges make money whether students learn or not, whether they graduate or not, and whether they get a good job after graduating or not. Colleges and universities engage in “bait and switch,” confer fraudulent degrees and engage in other practices that would bring legal sanctions if done by any other business. There is little or no oversight of the nation’s over 4,000 colleges and universities that enroll over 17 million students.

There are some colleges, such as Grove City College and Hillsdale College, that do a fine job of undergraduate education. Useful information about what colleges are doing what can be found in the Delaware-based Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s “Choosing the Right College.”
