UNIVERSITY INDOCTRINATION CENTERS ARE BEING ABANDONED American Enterprise Institute research fellow Daniel Buck and Garion Frankel of the James G.

As I wrote last week, public schools are depopulating on a large scale for a variety of reasons, including a declining birth rate, the fact that many of them don’t offer a worthy product, the advancement of school choice, and others.
