text: Colleges should not be supported by state and still gouge students every year with rising tuition. They are not paid for unpopular thoughts. Same as news anchors giving opinions instead of sticking to facts and let us decide what to accept. Keep the thoughts to themselves and teach skills. Thats the problem with colleges today, they are more interested in pushing opinions and their agendas, students in streets protesting crap instead of class.They are there to help prepare students for their fields of work they choose to support them in the real world.  Who wants to pay for opinions. Just because a person gets a professor job doesn't mean students/parents need to pay high costs for their opinion. Its school,  a change to get a degree in a field of the students choice. Opinions don't get degrees and students shouldn't have to waste their time listening to some pontificating teacher's opinion on the class or world. Why buy books when teacher is giving their opinions as education.
