The establishment’s top 25 colleges will cost families up to $74,550 a year to send their kids to indoctrination factories churning out the next generation of woke bureaucrats.
U.S. News and World Report just dropped its latest college rankings, and AL.com dutifully published the staggering price tags. While the Des Moines Register fills its pages with the Iowa high school softball state tournament schedule—a $15 daily ticket for a day of honest American competition—the elite academic machine is charging a king’s ransom to teach your kids to hate their own country.
According to AL.com, the cost of attending college has doubled in the last 30 years. The average private school now runs $45,000 a year in tuition and fees, but the "top" institutions demand far more. Brown University leads the racket at $74,550. Yale demands $69,900. The University of Chicago? $73,266. Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford all hover around $65,000 to $68,500. AL.com asks if you "get what you pay for," framing these exorbitant costs as purchasing "educational and career opportunities." That's establishment press-speak for buying a credential that gets your child a job in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion compliance industry.
Even the public universities on the list are pricing out the working class. UC Berkeley charges out-of-state students $55,323, while the University of Michigan hits them with a $66,203 bill. In-state tuition is lower—$17,721 at Berkeley and $19,497 at Michigan—but you're still paying into a system that pushes anti-American curricula and silences free speech.
Contrast this with the real America on display in Fort Dodge, where the Des Moines Register reports you can watch five classes of Iowa high school softball teams battle it out for state championships. Parking is free. A ticket is $15. You can stream the games for nothing on the IGHSAU website. No DEI consultants, no gender ideology, no $70,000 price tag—just competition and community.
The elite universities will keep raising tuition as long as parents keep paying the ransom. The question is how long working Americans will keep mortgaging their futures to fund the very institutions that seek to dismantle them.
