Good stuff. Starting to warm to Peter Hitchens.

The government funding, itself, is why education is so polluted with politics.

... which begs the question of why the university is receiving so much money from government in the first place. Most of the distortions I see in U.S. education are the result of mandates passed down from on high by government (Obama was notorious for his "hints" and "mandates."), pushing the university in some very unhealthy directions. It doesn't help that the majority of university administrators are pretty far left, but they don't have to be predisposed in that way, when the government is telling them that their careers and the survival of their institutions rely on the unquestioning implementation of bat-shit-crazy ideas. In other words, the reason the universities are so toxic, NOW, is because they've been chasing government funding for decades. They're the way they are, now, because of people on the opposite end of the political spectrum from YOU who used the exact mechanism you suggest to drive things into all kinds of blind alleys. The solution (or part of it) is to divorce the state from the educational institutions. That takes a club out of YOUR hand, but it also takes the club out of the hands of those whom you despise.

The mask is falling from fakes like Blair and also from news media, whose once fairly subtle propagandizing is now on full display, thanks largely to the Internet.
