He had a quote from JD Vance endorsing Orban’s attacks on universities right in the article. They don’t want Universities teaching ideas they disagree with.

“Universities are controlled by left-wing foundations. They’re not controlled by the American taxpayer, and yet the American taxpayer is sending hundreds of billions of dollars to these universities every single year.”

I’m not endorsing every single thing that Viktor Orban has ever done [but] I do think that he’s made some smart decisions there that we could learn from.

His way has to be the model for us: not to eliminate universities, but to give them a choice between survival or taking a much less biased approach to teaching. [The government should be] aggressively reforming institutions … in a way to where they’re much more open to conservative ideas.”

What you call a “biased approach to teaching” is merely conforming to the objective reality. What would you suggest to compensate for this “biased approach”? What “conservative ideas” should be taught as fact in universities? Creationism? Racial superiority?
