Courtesy of many independent websites and social media platforms, potential new students can see for themselves the toxic learning environment created by professors and administrators pushing progressive ideology focused on racialism, climate cultism, antisemitism, “gender-fluidity”, and all the other dogma elements that strip away reason, logic, self-responsibility and human dignity. The price for all of this insanity is tens of thousands of dollars for a four-year degree, with some programs at the elite and super-progressive institutions being in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If the decision is between $100,000 in debt for a humanities degree and a zero-debt skill set in the trades that can earn six figures, the rational choice is easy to identify.
