Agree - I think we should consider a well educated base of voters, workers, and neighbors as critical infrastucture along with roads and internet.

I think some decisions lately have highlighted an open hostility towards science, education, and by implication, democracy. This needs to be reversed.

Well educated voters are the enemy of political parties that thrive on soundbites and fear.

I do too, a core belief is that educated people are critical to success on a national and world level. However, colleges have an aggressive liberal slant which for me took a decade to even out to center.

Europeans observe that USA at large has an aggressive conservative slant.

I understand it's changed recently, but colleges (and lower schools) traditionally had a very conservative curriculum in general education / liberal arts core of Economics, Literature, and History.

Yes, it should be reversed! Maybe a reeducation program?
