    Yeah colleges were heavily subsidized and California had one of the largest public systems in the country. That system also gave Bobby Seale and Huey Newton an education so it’s not a coincidence that 1969 was when college prices started to spiral.

    The colleges themselves are racketeers, I recommend Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris who writes about the creation of Stanford U and its subsequent role in Colonialism and Anti-Communism. Stanford’s campus land houses all of the big weapon makers and it produced Herbert Hoover, the man responsible for mining gold during Australia’s genocide, modernizing the March on Africa, and the modern semi-state food cartels and housing policy.
