I guess this is politics. This is happening in red states. Schools are getting worse because they can.
It’s active hostility to higher education from those on the right, because once you’re college educated, you tend to be more left leaning.
"Highly educated adults – particularly those who have attended graduate school – are far more likely than those with less education to take predominantly liberal positions across a range of political values. And these differences have increased over the past two decades.
More than half of those with postgraduate experience (54%) have either consistently liberal political values (31%) or mostly liberal values (23%), based on an analysis of their opinions about the role and performance of government, social issues, the environment and other topics. Fewer than half as many postgrads – roughly 12% of the public in 2015– have either consistently conservative (10%) or mostly conservative (14%) values. About one-in-five (22%) express a mix of liberal and conservative opinions."
Good. If they can’t operate without massive handouts, they should either figure out increasing their income, or cut things that waste money.
If there’s one fucking thing this country should be subsidizing it’s fucking education
So waste your own money on it then. I’m sure no university will turn down your cash.
Everyone benefits when people go to school. I do pay for my schooling, and that of the doctors who will treat me in my old age, through taxes. It should go further.

They should only be for the absolute essentials of maintaining government. Not every random bit of garbage you want at someone else’s expense.
Let me guess. You support small government until it comes to religion, sexuality, race, and gender orientation?
An educated populace is 100% necessary for maintaining democracy. Feel free to go read your Thomas Jefferson on that, the sentiment is found throughout his written works.
