Broken higher education

John Mark Reynolds, provost at Houston Baptist University, says that it's obvious that higher education is broken:

"College is expensive, dominated by faculty unions, and hostile to moral education. Higher education does research well and is vital to our continued economic growth, but it no longer forms leaders fit for republican values."

Reason is one tool - but not the only tool - to aid in building a strong society because :  "All the scientists in creation cannot get an “ought” from the “is” they study, but a republic requires a basic consensus on what “ought to be.”  He is so right.

"Parents and students have a choice in higher education: schools with a strong Western core, a commitment to science and research, and traditional moral values still exist."  Choose one of these.
