Checking Up on the High Cost of Universities

You've heard that colleges and universities uphold something called "diversity." That's a myth when it comes to the ideology being taught. The Obama Administration is not going to investigate or supervise how taxpayers' money is spent by universities because the liberal Democrats running the federal government have no complaint about what the universities are doing. They share the same worldview, and the professors pass the faith on to the students.

Consider the results of the November 2008 election, in which college-aged voters came out in droves and voted for Obama by more than two to one. It was the college crowd that elected Obama.

These professors funnel not only students to the Democratic Party, but money, too. In 2004, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics found that the top two institutions in the country, in terms of employee per-capita contributions to presidential candidates, were Harvard and the University of California system-—both of which gave 19 times more money to the Democratic presidential candidate than to the Republican. So, don't expect President Obama to fire college presidents, or cap salaries, or freeze tuition, or regulate rising costs.
