No, education is not the problem. Universities are supposed to be places where different ideas are meant to be discussed openly without fear of persecution. It is easy to criticise ideas that failed after the fact, but that is not the reason to criticise universities or education. We are talking here using a system based of decades of trying different ideas none of which were developed with a guy with grenade launcher or a religious man in a religious school. Education is not a problem. People who don't value it and don't learn from the past are.

I wrote that they are "are supposed to be" not that they "are" such places. Their current state does not negate the idea. The alternative is no education and no freedom. It is not a good alternative.
