If you’re the governor of a red state, cleansing your public universities of left-wing bias is going to be a grindingly slow process, but it is conceptually simple; after all, you pay the salaries of these people. Surveys, monitors, and right-wing provocateurs can all be used to out the wokes and the commies. It will take time, but it can be done.
Private universities are a different matter, since you don’t control them. But, hey, if you win the presidency, it’s a brand new ball game! Many students rely on federal guarantees to pay their tuition; maybe you can condition the use of those funds, as well as federal funds for research, on the teaching of truth, as you see it!
Don’t be surprised if you start seeing ideas like this being thrown around the next time a Republican becomes president. The real question is whether it is already too late. Gen Z has no use for the GOP; the chances of changing that at this point are very poor.
