That means the top free speech school in the country received a C+ on\u2063 a \u2062traditional grading scale. That doesn\u2019t bode well, either.<\/p>\n<p>There is \u2063no doubt our colleges and universities have been infiltrated by progressives seeking to indoctrinate the \u2064young \u2062people who will \u200dthen take over the other \u200cinstitutions\u2063 that shape civilization \u2064\u2014\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/parents-suing-school-district-girls-told-tolerate-alleged-threatening-encounter-exposed-male-bathroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public schools<\/a>, law, government\u200d and all the\u2063 rest.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives probably think they are \u200bon the\u200c verge\u2063 of victory and one-party rule is in their\u200c grasp.<\/p>\n<p>They shouldn\u2019t celebrate too \u200csoon. \u200bAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/03\/09\/american-skipping-college-huge-numbers-pandemic-turned-them-off-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nations-top-schools-get-horrendous-free-speech-grades-harvard-gets-negative-score\/\" title=\"Top schools in the nation receive abysmal free speech grades, Harvard scores negatively.\">undergraduate college\u2063 enrollment dropped 8 \u200bpercent<\/a> from 2019 to 2022.
