Where have I been not to know of Prager University? The email I received from a friend led me to a website featuring a proposed commencement speech by George Will — one that he will never be invited to give.

Will dismisses the usual bromides delivered by speakers. He suggests to graduates that they demand an apology and a partial refund for their outrageous student loans and the vacuous results of a college education. Will compares the college tuition loans today — over one trillion dollars — to the housing bubble that hobbled the U.S. economy in 2008, perhaps permanently.

The analogy is apt. The annual increase in the student loan racket is larger than health care. In the process, schools must keep the loan beast fed, and thus accept increasingly less-qualified students — what Will calls “subprime students.”

The Prager University website is presented by radio host and columnist Dennis Prager. Prager claims to have had 70 million visitors in 2015 and projects 100 million in 2016. They will see five-minute videos presented by respected conservatives on subjects ranging from George Will’s message to graduates to analyses of the Middle East, health care, race, the economy and more.

I am sure Prager has detractors. Yet, even critics will admit the concept of short, information laden and computer-accessible film clips, hosted by qualified presenters on timely subjects, is a large part of the future for education.

Colleges and universities have been kidnapped by politically correct scholars who have thrown out the values of Western culture. Stuffed with useless courses used to indoctrinate rather than teach, higher education enclaves have lost their purpose – and become a political menace to society. Go Prager U!
