		<description><![CDATA[My preferred alternative is to go after them with the tools that took church attendance down, since the universities are openly promoters of one particular approach to truth.

&quot;We&#039;re perfectly happy for anyone who wants to go to a university, but no regular employer may ask whether you went, or keep any evidence of where you went, or use the fact that you went or didn&#039;t go in the hiring and promotion process.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s easy. The Republicans are anti-immigrant. Many claim that they are only against illegal immigration, but since most of them oppose letting more people in legally, it&#039;s clear to anyone who thinks about it for a minute that they just don&#039;t like immigrants.  Since most Asians are first or second generation immigrants, of course they don&#039;t vote for people who campaign against immigration.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The indoctrination is completely ineffective and only serves to waste students time.  Since the only thing that matters to employers and future employees is the certification that the student is smart enough to get in and diligent enough to get through, no one cares about the wasted time.  The universities keep trying and failing to convert students and the market doesn&#039;t punish them for it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Defunding won&#039;t happen, in red states or anywhere else.  In every state, the forces supporting public universities are much, much stronger than those who want to see change.

The real question to be answered is, how is it that, within just two or three generations, did virtually the West&#039;s entire intellectual class (aside from a tiny, ineffectual minority) become indifferent or hostile to their own native civilization.  But once this has happened, I don&#039;t think the situation can be reversed by legislative action by state politicians of the caliber of, at the very best, Mike Pence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heh, &quot;Make Academia Great Again.&quot;

But no, I think I was pretty clear in saying I&#039;d prefer Republicans didn&#039;t try to salvage anything and just defunded the whole enterprise from all of the various government subsidies.  Most of the states are in or heading towards fiscal crisis anyway, so they&#039;ll need to cut somewhere, and if Republicans are in charge, this is something that&#039;s going to seem increasingly tempting.

One baby step in that direction would be to get rid of the whole in-state / out-of-state tuition differential.  And in my opinion, the line of privileges and immunities / equal protection jurisprudence that permits these durational residency requirements for state universities as Constitutional has been incoherent, inconsistent with other matter such a welfare, and incorrectly decided in general.

If subsidies can&#039;t be avoided, they could be reserved for classes in a few priority disciplines which are less likely to openly teach students to hate Republicans, which would probably exempt everything with a &quot;studies&quot; at the end of its name.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The modal answer is that indeed the faculty and a minority of students are very far left and very obnoxious about it, but if you are conservative or moderate you can work around the radical leftists.&quot;

If this were an Amazon or Yelp review, who would be encouraged to buy?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the change in Asian voting patterns related to a phenomenon seen in Hispanic voting patterns as well.  Namely, ethnic groups from Communist countries used to be a lot more Republican.  Chinese Americans, Cuban Americans, etc.  Since Communism became irrelevant these groups have been drifting further left each year.  That explains much of your non-black minority drift.

Add to this the fact that most Asians are coastal professionals that are working with bobos in heavily liberal industries (Silicon Valley, etc).  It makes sense they would adapt to their surroundings to fit in.]]></description>
